I brought the seeds for this palm from Cuba last year but somewhere during my travels I lost my handwritten ID. But they resembled other Copernicia seeds I brought back. I have about a dozen seedlings this size and observed the following: they are faster growing than other Copernicias I've tried; their leaves are broad and spring green and feel rough to the touch but are not as rigid as my other Copernicias; leaves have long drip tips. Can someone tell me if this palm is a Copernicia and, if so, what species? If it is not what is it? Thanks.

HINT: It is NOT baileyana or cowellii (which I have) nor fallaensis or rigida (not seeding)
