I was just wandering through the garden extolling the virtues of various Heliconias to my son Harry when I came upon this and was very excited. I hope you all share the excitement.

I can tell you photos of any Chrysalidocarpus get tons of views on here, especially success stories and how-to posts.  Every new post has the chance to reach someone that doesnt know about them, please post them!

Duly noted.

This is flowering for the first time, i have another thats quite similar but is in more sun and consequently looks a little harder grown but flowering for the first time also. Im not certain of the species so any suggestions of identification are welcomed.

Ambositrae ( if the type in PoM is still accurate) obscured but behind to the right.

Good morning all, just noticed this is flowering too, possibly Pembana not really certain, of the three originally thought to be Pembana I'm not sure any are.

The leaf seems too broad on this new trunk for Pembana, but I'm no expert.

Hi Paul,

Nice collection. This one looks a bit like the C (D) sp. Mayotte that has floated around. But honestly I can’t make a positive ID. The pembanus/cabadae/madagascariensis complex is tricky especially with all of the hybrids out there.

Front palm may have at least some C madagascariensis genes in it based on the crownshaft colour and emerging spear colour. Are the fronds plumose/arranged on multiple planes? The one in the back I can’t tell for sure but looks to be plumose which would rule out the true C ambositrae. Possibly C plumosus which did get confused for C ambositrae when it first entered Aus.

Hi Tim, no neither are plumose. I'll get some more photos.

The first is quite narrow in the trunk and elegant to the eye, leaflets are regularly arranged, if not slightly in pairs but only somewhat. Arching and recurving. Sparse with ramenta.

The one behind is more robust, highly indument, arching and recurving, fits the type of Ambositrae and is not the early miss named Plumosa. Leaflets are regularly arranged.

This is what I knew to be Plumosa but I haven't really been paying attention for many years so it's possibly renamed.

This is a Pinnatifrons cross, not the first time it's held seed but previously unfixable, fingers crossed.

Thanks Tim. I was steering towards Lanceolata so that all makes a lot of sense.

@Cannonball yep you’re right scrap my previous guesses definitely not madagascariensis or plumosa for those two. Possibly something aligned to the flat leaf form of onilahensis for the thin trunked one, and for the other one it could be true ambositrae.

Yes I'm thinking a type of Onilahensis perhaps.

This is my Madagascariensis on the right In these photos, it had a much smaller secondary trunk but it was growing under the eaves so had to be removed. 

Carpoxylon on the left with Onilahensis in front and centre.

Leptocheilos to the far right and behind.

Good morning everyone,  Robusta? With a new leaf, perhaps Pembana behind and to the left, and Arenarum (maybe) to in flower and to the right.

Ambositrae with might well be an inflorescence about two leaves away, just showing itself on the right hand side.

Here here! Huge Chrysalidocarpus (Dypsis) lover here, who almost missed your thread (I’ll have to do better checking posts with more cryptic titles).

Thanks for posting! I know I’m still learning stuff, and frankly a lot of us just love seeing each others’ collections (i.e. “palm porn”).
