Can anyone ID this palmate palm?  It is planted at the Santa Barbara Courthouse near the Brahea armata and Jubaea chilensis.  Pictures of the palm, fruit, frond, and approximate location (for those familiar with the courthouse) below.  Any help IDing this palm would be greatly appreciated.

Unified Theory of Palm Seed Germination

(Where: bh = bottom heat, fs = fresh seed, L = love, m = magic, p = patience, and t = time)

Brahea edulis,  the epicarp is black when the seed is mature.  :)

@Darold Petty, thank you.  I was discussing this palm with @Fusca, and he was suspecting the same.  I doubt those immature fruits are ripe enough, but I may give it a go and see if they germinate.

Most of the time, immature seeds will rot.  However, if the seed is perhaps 75-85% mature a small percentage may germinate.  I had to remove a diseased Hedyscepe with nearly mature seed, and obtained about 10% germination.
