Had the pleasure of meeting a new palm today that stumped me. Thriving in Zone 10 on the back waters of the intracoastal waterway are several of these beauties in what was described as a "old-timer" palm collector's property.

Reminding me of oversized Ptychosperma elegans - all were an honest 60+ ft tall - but with closer leaf scars, heavier trunks and seeds much more round than what I remember of a V. mongomeryana. Par for the course with my luck, the only access point left the sun in a horrible position for a photo.  Anyone care to take a stab at a solid ID on this beauty from the best of the photos I could muster?
