Hi folks,

Since I have done a beach house for me, I become a palm tree fanatic.

So I have started to colect several palm seeds wherever I go, especially in the city where I live, Brasilia, the Brazil`s capital. Some samples I could identify for myself, but not all of them.

My first untitled have big red seeds. I thought It was veicthia/adonidia, but when I peeled I could see It is a species I dont know yet. Please, help me.

Bemvindo ao Palmtalk!  Acho que está Veitchia joannis, mas também pode ser Veitchia spiralis.  If the crownshaft is white, it is V. spiralis - difficult to see the color in the photo.  Não dirigo um fusca mas acho um carro bem engraçado!  Rss!  I've visited Brasilia once - nice city!

Thanks Fusca!!! My dad had a white fusca many many years ago... It is a wonderful car rsrsr. I am glad you have visited my living city.

I think the palm tree in question is a Spiralis, bc the joannis seed looks too narrow in comparison to my samples. Thank you!!

You're welcome.  I wish you luck with germination - I germinated one last year and it has grown really fast.  I think it's a beautiful palm!  I was only in Brasilia for a couple of days in January and it rained every day so I didn't get many photographs, but I'm posting 2 of them.
