g'day tracy,

look like a "queen palm" aka "syagrus romanzoffiana", to me. just the
picture shows a multi planted pot, bound to become very crowded as the
palms grow.

over here in aus' they are a bit of an environmental weed as fruit
bats spread the seeds around the habitat, and they grow readily.

Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that

What are some unique anatomy features of a queens palm that you know of. I
am studying a Ptychosperma elegans as I write. I see the xylem and phloem.
Its amazing how tough strand within the soft ground tissues give palms
unique abilities to bend without breaking during high winds. I am looking
at the parenchyma cells now. Please tell me more about the anatomy of the
"queens".
I like tree anatomy.
