I am wondering if these are Pinanga sierramadreana. I have a half dozen and they all look like this, which is rather different from Palmpedia and other internet photos . . . . particularly the yellow crownshaft.

Can you post a photo showing the leaflet tips? Especially the terminal leaflets? I agree, it doesn't look like the photos on Palmpedia, but those photos aren't so great either. The description puts the stem at 2.5 cm  in diameter which is very slim and this palm of yours seems bigger, but it's hard to distinguish the size with only the fence for scale -- maybe it is that slender. What size pot is that? As to the color, right after a crownshaft is shed, the underneath layer may be a very different color initially.  Honestly, if I had to guess I'd say this was some kind of Areca, but what do I know?

Were they labeled when you got them?.

They are from Floribunda. Those are 1-gal pots and the trunks are slender.

Well, Floribunda does make mistakes, but rarely. Chances are they are as labeled. Nice looking palms! It will be interesting to see if they develop the reddish crownshafts for you.
