Palm ID pls

[Brandon39.5]

Hey, saw this palm today in the canary islands looks like some kind of thrinax any one knows?

Hard to tell from that dark photo. I see seeds; what color are they? How large are the leaves? Are they dark green or more of a lime green? Do the boots have petioles in one piece or are the petioles "forked", i.e., like a fork in a road?

Coccothrinax, probably argentea.

I will come back tomorrow and do better photos for a more accurate id, sorry for the bad quality photo. Here is the picture of the seeds.

Hi,
it is practically impossible to distinguish some Coccothrinax from a generic photo, for example the main difference between C. argentata and C. argentea is the absence or presence of transverse veinlets in the leaves, visible only in transparency and with magnification.

Thanks, I've just wanted to know to know the genus I thought that it was thrinax. I will try to germinate it.

A simple method to distinguish the genus Thrinax (and Leucothrinax) from Coccothrinax is to look at the base of the leaf sheath, if it is split lengthwise it is Thrinax, if it is not split it is Coccothrinax:
