Neutral palmbob On Oct 4, 2006, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

newly described species (2005) from Mexico where it grows at moderate elevations (over 3000'). Was for a long time thought to be a variety of Brahea dulcis, and could still be according to some. Has elipsoid seeds. Otherwise looks like a Brahea dulcis to me.
