Gizilla Kopsick Palm Arboretum Palm ID

Any ideas on the identification of this palm I came across today while checking out Kopsick?

After looking at it and doing some research... maybe this: https://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Pinanga_adangensis

Yes Jeremy, I agree.  Well, we found a Pinanga!  Jeremy and I both checked out Kopsick today and he was kind enough to show me all the palminess that Lakeland has to offer.  He also sent me home with some goodies, which I will post pictures of tomorrow.  Thank you dear friend.

Pinanga adangensis, super slow grower for me

First time at Kopsick?

Hopefully mine will grow like that someday. Had it for 3 or 4 years and its kinda slow,

maybe too much shade but worried about our occasional freezes. So far 4 rings,4 suckers

and leaves are about chest high.

Yeah it is now on my shopping list, lovely Palm.  I have visited Kopsick a number of times but don't remember noticing it before.

Agreed, W/ those crownshafts, it would've caught my attention every time i visited the collection.  Gonna have to look through all my pictures from 2014, 15, early 16 again..

It looks just like Cyrtostachys to me.  Perhaps only the inflorescence and the less than cleanly colored crownshafts would give it away as something of a different genus.

I now have a new favorite Pinanga!  Patula and javana and second and third.
