Palm With The Longest/Tallest Crownshaft?

Does anyone know of the palm with the longest/tallest crownshaft?

Carpoxylon has the largest crownshaft to palm ratio that I've seen, but there's a palm labelled Roystonea maisiana at Fairchild that seems larger overall.

The longest crownshafts I've seen, were tall Euterpe precatoria in habitat in Costa Rica. However from some of the pictures I've seen on the web, I would say - Lemurophoenix halleuxii has the most massive one.

Carpoxylon

iriartea deltoidea

The Venezuelan  Oleracea would be in the running, I'll measure the next fallen C/shaft.   

While Im writing this I'd like to add that the Cuban Olearacea and Venezeulan  Oleracea need to be "separated", so what if the flowers are the same, the leaves/fronds  Differ a lot....Cuban has very broad leaflets while Venezeulan has thinner and much dark greener leaflets and they are longer...

We have done this one before, guys! I had a picture of me standing next to a fallen regia frond. I am 6' and the crownshaft portion was taller than me, yes sir. Now, Alex made two valid nominations to which I cannot speak to but would not doubt Alex. I can say right now that roystonea beats carpoxylon.

From memory when this has been discussed previously Bo's Clinostigmas were the longest anyone could confirm at around 8'.

Correction,  I meant Carribean Royal and Venezuelan which are different palms with the same flowers and the Venz is the "tallest" of all Roystoneas.   Pete
