Probably a species of Chamaedorea, could be an older specimen of Chamaedorea elegans or it could be a Chamaedorea seifrizii which acts a lot like bamboo.

If you can upload a pic, that would help a lot! Just make a photobucket account, upload the pic there, and copy and paste the IMG link (I think thats what it's called, I'll have to double check) onto the message here.
Good luck!

You don't need a third party site like photobucket. Now the garden web forum has the "image file to upload" option right on the response page.

Just some random daffodils to see how it works -- I haven't tried it yet, either!
