Sibdas-- Agreed that Washingtonia robusta and Livistona chinensis can be difficult to differentiate, especially photos of them.
Here is a pic of Washingtonia robusta inflorescence: http://media.naplesnews.com/npdn/content/img/photos/2008/06/14/washingtonian2_t220.jpg ----------------------- Livistona chinensis normally has armed petioles only as a juvenile tree, whereas Washingtonia robusta is armed throughout its lifespan. Also, if the tree is taller than, say, 12-15m, it is most likely Washingtonia. Livistona seldom exceeds 12m, at least in the USA.
