They are not the fastest growers, so please be patient!

The arrow of the eophyll in my last photo was a bit misleading:

After a long lasting struggle with the seed petiole the eophyll of N°1721 is finally emerging out of the cotyledon:

The eophyll is breaking out! No other "breaking" news?

It is not a "remote-tubular germination" but a (nearly) "adjacent-ligular germination": 

Pal, here are some pictures of a sprouted Guihaia argyrata seed. In contrast to Rhapis laosensis from the distance of the emerging aerial part, it must be clearly remote tubular germination.  I wonder if this difference is consistent also in comparison of Guihaia to the rest Rhapis spp.

Today the tip of the 4th leaf became visible; it is not the fastest grower during its first years since germination ……

Sorry, no seeds this year, because only the female plant flowered but not the male/hermaphrodite palm.
