Palmate Palm ID

[ParkerK]

It looks like a stout, compact version of Chamaerops humilis with upright leaves and no armature. Any ideas?

Trithrinax campestris maybe?

[Darold Petty]

Trithrinax is more heavily armed than Chamaerops, with spines at the trunk, and has a needle sharp spine at the tip of each leaflet.  My 'guess' would be an extremely rare and choice form of Chamaerops.  A very attractive palm, whatever the ID !  

[Josue Diaz]

Trithrinax campestris have no teeth on the petiole but lots of spines among the fibers surrounding the trunk. I'm with Darold, Chamaerops 'vulcano' perhaps?

Thanks @Josue Diaz! I agree, this one's hurting my brain.

 

That was my first thought @Darold Petty! Maybe the owner of this wonderful garden will see this and chime in.

Looks like Chamaerops "Vulcano" to me. 

[ParkerK]

@Cikas I think you're right on the money! Sool cool, I've never seen one before. Very much appreciated

Looks like a Trithrinax.  In addition to what is mentioned above, Chamerops have longer petioles, thinner petioles.  At least in my observations.

I’m with the volcano guys. Looks like I need to plant mine now.

Definately Chamaerops vulcano and a stunning one as well!!

Regular green form yes, not "Vulcano" form. "Vulcano" form looks like this. One of the most beautiful forms of Chamaerops.
