I picked up two supposedly Butia capitata palms recently.  Both were busting out of their containers.  The one that is still in its container looks quite different with less recurve to the leaves.  It was growing in a shadier area.  Is the plant on the left (in container) perhaps a mule or something different?

If they were labeled Butia capitata, then they are probably actually Butia odorata (i.e., "standard pindo").  Butia odorata are commonly mislabeled as Butia capitata in the nursery trade for some reason.  Finding an actual Butia capitata at a nursery is probably rare (I have never seen one).

Mules do not have spikes on the petioles and zooming in on your pics it looks like these do.
