What are these crownshaft palms?

[Sandy Loam]

Hello all.  I will try to separate these into individual posts. What are these crownshaft palms?  All of these photos were taken in Naples, Florida (southwestern Florida), but the first two photos are of a type of palm that I see all the time when I am in southeastern Florida.  What are they?

PHOTO 1 (below) - Note that I am referring to the taller group of trees in the background, and not the shorter Roystonea Regia in the foreground or the ptychosperma elegans to the left. Thanks.

PHOTO 2 (below) - same type again.  What are they?

[Eric in Orlando]

Veitchia arecina

[Matt in OC]

By the way, that shorter tree in the foreground appears to be Wodyetia, not a royal.

[Steve Mac]

Yes, that short fluffy one is a Foxtail.

[Sandy Loam]

So, I assume that this one (PHOTO 3 below) is also veitchia arecina?

The tall palm in the center of the first photo, where you can't see the leaves: Lightpolicus reflecticus.

Lol. Funny guy.

... and another one again... maybe??? (Ignore the royal palms in the background)

[Sandy Loam]

Ignore the coconut trees in this photo. Is the other tree also veitchia arecina?  Sorry to be such a nuisance but I think I might finally be able to identify these successfully.  All photos were taken in Naples, Florida. 

[Sandy Loam]

Again, are all of these veitchia arecina? Please ignore the adonidia merilli.  Photos taken in Naples, Florida. 

[Sandy Loam]

Please ignore the coconut trees in this photo. The tree in the middle is also veitchia arecina? 

 

Again, Naples, Florida.

[Sandy Loam]

Here is the tree in PHOTO 4 one more time. It should be easier to see in this photo. (Ignore the Roystonea surrounding what MIGHT be a veitchia arecina)

This is finally my last photo.

Thanks for your identifications!

[Jerry@TreeZoo]

Pic # 4 looks like it might be an Archontophoenix, with its slightly twisting fronds,

Pic # 5 looks like another Veitchia, can't say what species.

Pic # 6 looks like Carpentaria acuminata.

Pic # 7 looks like a Veitchia or possibly a Foxy Lady (cross between Veitchia and Wodyetia).

Thanks Jerry.  Wow, these are hard to tell apart, for me at least.  To my eyes, the commonality is a very pale green crownshaft.

What about PHOTO 3?

Any more ID opinions out there?

3 is Veitchia too.  Very typical of the genus, straight rachis and flat to drooping leaflets.usually larger fruit (1.5 -2 inches)

 

Archonto = slightly twisting frond, small fruit

Carpie = strongly recurved fronds.  Typical Loooong internodalgrowth, (widely spaced leaf scars on trunk) with trunk very gradually tapering toward crown.

Foxy Lady = many features of both parents but faster and more robust growth.  Black scurf on crownshaft, wider leaflets, no bulge or smaller bulge in trunk than Wodyetia.

Here is that one by the pool again, this time from a different angle. What fascinates me is how it's trunk looks so similar to the coconut trunks surrounding it.  

 

Pardon the reflection on the photo.  This picture was taken through a window pane.

One more for the road -- also veitchia arecina, I think?  This photo was also taken at the same place in Naples, Florida.
