Obtained this nice palm from Mike in Kurtistown, thanks Mike,  but at the time unsure if lauterbachii or schefferi.  It is about 5 meters tall now and about to climb above the white torch ginger so I am wondering if an ID is apparent yet?

I'm leaning towards scheferri but you'll know better once it flowers.  If scheferri it'll have white flowers then dark purple fruits.  I believe lauterbachii have the typical bright red fruits.
