Palm id needed roystonea ?

[happypalms]

From what my ever failing memory has left I can remember it is a roystonea  but what variety oleracea or regia thanks in advance 

[ahosey01]

looks like violacea to me but i’m no roystonea expert

Similar to my Venezuelan (Oleracea ) in size of crown shaft but hard to tell. Mine is full sun and yours looks to be more shade. Harry

That looks like oleracea to me. They have a flatter leaf arrangement than regia, and can get that purple hue to the crownshaft. I had a really nice trunking one in my Perth garden and it looked identical to your one.

Like @Tyrone says oleracea has a flatter leaf arrangement.

This is oleracea

This is regia

It would unlikely be a violacea in Australia 25 years ago when I purchased it only common palms where available in chain stores there where only two roystonea around for sale regina  or orelacea

Regia are a very common palm around here and your palm has obvious differences.  I thought violacea at first but they have always been hard to find so I will go with the crowd and say oleracea.
