Copernicia ID?

I didn’t grow this from seed but got with some other Palms I bought. I’m thinking maybe C. baileyana or a macroglossa hybrid. It’s hard to see but it does have a couples streaks of blue amongst all that green color. Any ideas?

I don't know the answer but that is a beautiful little plant

I say its a baileyana, they have broader leaflets than macroglossa.  Looks greenhouse grown to me.  Baileys have spines only on the edge of leaflets, macroglossa have some on the face of leaflets and pointing up.  Baileys lose their spines faster as they grow too.   It might be a cross but nothing is really standing out to say so that I can see.  Check post 1 photo 3 for macroglossa, 2 for bailey.

Grown out in Full Florida sun. Very green color, has small petioles and too upright for macro, but I'm just assuming a hybrid.

The leaflet division goes almost to the hastula, unlike C. baileyana. Leaflets look a little lax, color is dark green, not like my baileyana seedlings. A hybrid with rigida or gigas, maybe?

Nice unique hybrid plant. It has some C. macroglossa in it but with what else, I don't know. Any of the more common silver-bearing species.

In the third photo, the leaves resemble those of C. macroglossa but without the twisting curl and stiffness, but with the same level of segment division. A tiny bit of a regular petiole. A closer look at the leaf in the lower-right shows a surface reflection. Within the reflection you can see both the staggered 'bumpy' ridges and the tiny margin spines found on C. macroglossa plants of similar size.

The larger it gets the parentage might reveal itself easier. Has it been fast growing? It will become an awesome palm as it grows, a singular specimen.

Wish it did have gigas or rigida, that would be cool. Yes, faster than the Cop fallaensis. I think you are right, not baileyana. Thanks

That's pretty much what I thought about mostly resembling macroglossa, plus that dark green color. Thanks
