Almost look like the one from Mauritius(princess palm), but in fact the trunck is thinner and take longer to be mature and bear flower and fruits. But the most 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 as salads in the Mascarenes Islands )
