Dypsis canaliculata?

I have come to accept that it's a mixed bag when it comes to these large "jurassic" type dypsis.  I just collect them as I find them and hope that they turn out to be something different than what I already have.  The following dypsis was bought as Dypsis 'jurassic park'.  As it grows, there is a thick, colorful fuzz developing at the leaf base.  For a Southern California grown dypsis, the only 'jurassic' type dypsis that does this is Dypsis canaliculata.  Is this an accurate statement or is it wishful thinking?  Please let me know your thoughts.  I am happy either way as it is unique for my collection.

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Len.  

The leaflets are not narrow and plumose enough?

So easy to focus on one characteristic and not track all the others!  Mine does not have a red emerging spear!

I rather like these large Dypsis. I’m growing a few (some doubtless mislabeled too). Which ones are doing good for you?

Yeah, the emerginging spear should be heavily tomentose. Now I have seen some variance on how dense, but still should mostly be there.

Len called it... (even though he never posts a pic of his... ;) )

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Here is the same plant you have Joe in my garden. Also bought as JP. It has a lot of characteristics of tokoravina.

Thanks, Len.

That palm does indeed looks like mine.  Will just grow it out and enjoy it.

Joe - whatever it is, looks like it will be a great palm for your garden. I should say it already is. I love these Dypsis mysteries!
