Comments and Curiosities
"Almost looks like the one from Mauritius (princess palm), but in fact the trunck is thinner and take longer to be mature and bear flowers and fruit. But the most the noticeable difference is the young leaves are light brown to orange. Can be seen growing in Mauritius quite commonly and being sold in nurseries sometimes as Palmiste (a venucular name to Dictyospermas Palm heart's which is consume in salads in the Mascarenes Islands)." (timrann), edric.
