We need a good view of the trunk to tell. C. crinita crinita is well known for bountiful curled tan fibers/"hair" totally concealing the trunk. C.crinita brevicrinus has much less hair and those fibers tend to be straighter. I have both and the difference is quite apparent as they grow larger. I've found C. c. brevicrinus to be easier to grow and less temperamental than plain crinita. My sole surviving C.c. crinita has yet to flower but my brevicrinus puts out loads of seeds every year. Both are critically endangered in Cuba but C.c. crinita gets all the love.

According to Paul Craft's Palms of Cuba book (2017), pure Coccothrinax crinita subsp. brevicrinis has not been cultivated outside of Cuba, until in 2016 for the first time collected seeds were taken off the island. What is known in cultivation as Coccothrinax crinita subsp. brevicrinis is actually a Coccothrinax x angelae, a naturally occurring hybrid between C. crinita subsp. brevicrinis and C. miraguama subsp. roseocarpa.
