The main difference is probably that this is the tallest Archontophoenix. Growing to about 30 meters tall. The rest are 15 to 25 meters tall.

This Archontophoenix is similar in looks to A alexandrae, but differs in some floral details. Not sure how it differs otherwise, only that the seedling I had had markedly red new leaf flush, far and above any of the other species of Archontophoenix.
