Dypsis prestoniana variations?

[JubaeaMan138]

Ok so I bought a bunch of these dypsis prestonianas from a well respected local grower . I was looking at these and they look a lot different then my other prestonianas inknow dypsis go through crazy changes as they grow . He did tell me he was excited about these because they are a variety that is much hardier . Anyways my question is which variety would these be ? My other 2 are a lot bigger but they have very wide curly leaves .

I actually did read that previous post earlier maybe I'm confused because of the size of these . I can't seem to find any pictures of prestonianas in small one gallons that look anything like these

Does it have a heel? Saxophone root on the side?

I have two prestononianas a tad bit bigger than yours with curly leaves. Those had no ill effects from our cold, wet winters, low 30s and frost (with overhead canopy.) My oldest one was from Searl bros in SW Ranches,  and my other is from Floribunda. They're both terribly slow, but I did notice today  they're both pushing new fronds. Not too bad for Fresno. I've never seen a non-curly prestononiana.

No heel but i've had stuff develops a heal later on these  were originally big liners that I put into 1 gallons I guess time will tell

The leaves do look a bit narrow to me but they are small plants, and I am no expert.

The Prestonias I’ve had at that size  have much shorter leaves and wider leaflets, plus a heel.

The first pic had me suspicious, this one tells me. "Me thinks that is not a prestoniana".

That onion- like bulge at the base reminds me of pulilifera seedlings.

These came from Kevin weaver. They were originally in liners when I got them a few weeks ago. Im going to give him a call today . It's possible I grabbed the wrong thing. I don't remember there even being tags when I got them home . But these were the hole reason I went to see him i've been watching these things grow and waiting for them to be big enough to sell .

I think i have the same "prestoniana".

I bought it two years ago from the most respected spanish grower as small 3 leaves seedling. It was planted in the ground and it is growing slowly.

It didn't have heel and of course it looks fully diferent than other prestoniana.

I don't know what could be this.

This is how it looks today, two years after.

I have a bunch of bejofos that looks pretty much the same except are a paler color than these that are more green

Mystery Dypsis are usually a good thing..

Ok so I just heard back from Kevin sounds like i grabbed the wrong plants . He said they don't look like his prestonianas and they look like kentiopsis which was my next guess thanks everyone 

[Moose]

Which Kentiopsis, magnifica?

[JubaeaMan138]

No olivoformis . I bought a few different things everytime I go seems like I mess something up or leave and forgot to look for something  I must have just been confused I do remember now the reason I grabbed kentiopsis is because  the wife wanted a couple but I do remember seeing the prestonianas now i've got a few to

many kentiopsis gonna go back for the prestos this week
