Chamaedorea elegans has very thin leaves on laterally pointing branches normally and is a SOLITARY palm (no suckers)... they really dont' look much alike at all (see in the plant files). Chamaedorea seifrizii has many suckers and grows in a tight clump of upright pointing leaves that are thicker and more sun durable (a Chamaedorea elegans in that much sun would probably be fried).
Brahea armata is a blue leaved palm. It also has large yellow spines along the petioles. It has thick petioles with a lot of scurf (fuzz) on them. Trachycarpus has skinny petioles with very tiny teeth very closely spaced. It is a green leaved palm. Its leaves are very deeply divided compared to most Braheas. See the photos in the plant files and you will see how different these two palms look.
