I germinated 15-20 of these and only this one plant really looks unique enough to me to be considered different. It really does have a softer, sort of "bent" look to the leaves. Post your pics of this plant if you have one.

no generates suckers..., strange to be a vulcano...

Surprise, surprise, I see two different kinds of fruits on one and the same plant?!?! IMO this a typical sign of cross breeding, in this case of two different Chamaerops cultivars. Besides we were told that volcano has no spines, yet on this specimen I see spines albeit smaller and at greater intervals. There also Chamaerops specimens with fewer spines but the existing ones are also very thin and grow at a very closed angle to the petiole, so that they give the impression of growing parallel to the petiole, thus being not pungent when one grabs a petiole...

bingo!!LOL

you saw the red fruit!!, i put her to notice the size difference between them, the red fruit belong to a chamaerops cerifera.

True, it has little spines.

Yes, mine doesn't meet any of the "criteria" if there is such a thing. It just looks different. Maybe it will grow out of it and look like just a variable Chamaerops.

My little vulcano. I picked a male and I want to try to pollinate my other chamaerops and see what happens. It has lovely silverish leaf undersides.post-6290-0-84731600-1412789062_thumb.jp
