They do have a Cocothrinax aganthea. Not hundred percent sure this is said specimen. Here is a photo from my last visit.

Yeah, I think that’s it, a Coccothrinax argentea! :greenthumb: Vielen Dank! :)

While it is a Coccothrinax, I'm fairly certain it is not C. argentata.  The leaves are much to large, and even in low light conditions they would not have such long petioles. The tips of the leaves would also have a very exaggerated drooping effect.  Another tell tale characteristic would be the amount of silver coloration on the underside of the leaf, which we cannot see here in the pic.  It is, however, a nice looking palm.

Yes, I believe it is argentea.
