Hello All,

This is my first post on Palm Talk.

Please assist to ID these palms.

3 species

Locations:

First photo -

Yambona, Kerema District, Gulf Province, PNG. Altitude approximately 1000m above sea level.

Second photo -  Yambona, Kerema District, Gulf Province, Papua New Guinea . Altitude approximately 1000m above sea level

Third photo - between Kaintiba Apa, Gulf Province and Wapa, Menyamya District, Morobe, Papua New Guinea. Altitude approximately 1500m above sea level.

My apologies for the low-resolution screenshots, the original files were too large to upload.

Thank you.

I believe the palms in the last picture with recurved leaves are Hydriastele Ramsayi.

Welcome to Palmtalk!  First photo looks like a Ptychosperma?  Second photo is a Caryota - perhaps urens?

It does look similar but can't be because H ramsayi is native to the Northern Territory in Aus, not PNG...is there a relative up there?

#3 Hydriastele longispatha? PNG has a several emergent type Hydriastele spp. (formerly Gulubia) that aren't cultivated much which is a shame

Yep second photo , Caryota Urens as far as I know . The other two ?

I’d say the Caryota looks more like one of the C maxima variants to me. The Hydriastele sp is clearly one of the emergent large ones likely native to PNG which narrows it down. Maybe H ledermanniana? This first photo I don’t really know although it gives me Areca vibes.
