I was taking photos of a seeding Zamia when I noticed volunteer palm seedlings popping up around its caudex. I pulled the seedlings but I am unable to place what palm they might have come from. Their leaf shape reminded me of a germinating Licuala but I have no Licualas planted in the yard and none of my potted Licualas has yet to flower. On one of the photos you can see one seedling still holding onto a black pea-sized seed. Does anyone recognize the species in its infant form? I will pot them and grow them up for future photos.

Hi,

I know what you mean that does look very similar to my Licuala ramsayi seedlings. Hopefully someone can help. Otherwise the mystery will continue until they get bigger :)

Photo is L. ramsayi and has seed showing if look closely.

They look a little like queen palm seedlings to me, but being in your yard Meg, I am guessing something more unusual.

Reason I believe its not a queen or something similar as these strap leaves have jagged ends common in Licuala. Queen strap leaves normally go to a point from memory.

I think its a wait and see for now as hard to call at this size.
