The difference in petioles between a old school Chamaerops humilis and a true Vulcano variety cannot be made more clear than via the attached photo. The petioles of a true Vulcano are short, almost spineless and much broader than those of an old school Humilis.

Too bad we (so far) haven't had this 'Vulcano' available in North America, at least to my knowledge. It would be a nice addition to my collection.

Cheers, Barrie.

They are available in California.  I have a nice one in my front yard, probably 3 years in ground.

I wonder about the extent of stabilized traits for vulcano. I have posted here a picture of a tall, arborescent type specimen, which is entirely armless and petioles are covered extensively with wax. On the other hand, Ben's specimen, which otherwise is gorgeous, has some spines along the petioles.  Besides, there is such variability within the sp, that I am not sure if there is something like regular form or of 'old school' lol...
