Solitaire Palm - Ptychosperma elegans

Veitchia macdanielsii is a synonym of Veitchia arecina, but I'd say that is a close match. The fronds seem to be arching a bit too much for Ptychosperma elegans. A close up of the leaflets would be a good indicator.

Hi
YEA! Two for the same kind!!! lol. So far I've gotten
Ptychosperma elegan,Carpentaria acuminata,Veitchia montgomeryana
archontophoenix alexandrae lol The latter is the one the people who own the building told me it was
Trying to buy a couple for my yard but first have to know what it is ?? lol
Anyway thanks for the help gary

I definitely wouldn't give it Ptychosperma elegans without a close up of the leaflets. Normally the P. elegans fronds don't arch that much.

With that list of names, Gary, you could pick any one of them since they do look similar, as evidenced by the range of differing opinions, LOL.

The only Veitchia that slender is V. merrillii, which is now Adonidia. Veitchia arecina is a bigger palm; thicker trunk with much larger, less curved leaves.

Ptychosperma elegans is one of the most common palms in SoFL, even naturalizes in moist hammock areas.

Ptychosperma elegans is a commonly used palm in commercial landscaping. The others are not.

I still want to stand on Veitchia macdanielsii.
Ptychosperma elegans seem to have shorter fronds that don't arch as much. It also seems to show more banding on the trunk

I've seen thousands of P. elegans, they're native to our east coast, for well over 1000 kms, and they have semi-erect fronds, unlike the ones in that photo. If those were an abberation to the normal then a close up of the leaflets would be a good indicator. Otherwise, they don't look like P. elegans. And they do get to be a big palm, I've seen them close to 20 metres tall, along with semi-erect fronds.

Hi
The reason i'm particularly interested in this palm Is that it isn't nearly as messy as stays shorter thasn similar palms. They are over 15 years old and are seeding so must be mature?? Would be tough to get a pic of the leaflets as they are around 20 feet above the groud lol
Thanks gary
