Some earlier relevant feedback: My guess is Phoenix robusta regards Radha may be canary island palm, not sure though would like to see it in its entirety, if you had a chance to take it all in. usha di This is the same https://www.flickr.com/photos/49876611@N06/6165335635/in/photolist-aoNXug, i posted earlier identified as Chamerops humilis.Of course it is not cultivated. Regards Satish nikam I have seen Phoenix robusta in the location you mentioned. In this area they are often very short trees, sometimes only a few feet. Your posted pictures resemble mine. It is often difficult to get an image of an entire tree. regards Radha Let me get this straight. Does it mean P.robusta= P. loureiroi var. pedunculata= P. loureirii var. humilis= P. humilis Royle ex Baker. Hook Kindly clarify and thanks for the help. Appreciate it. Regards Satish nikam I spent a very long time trying to sort out these similar species of Phoenix even after seeing plants with flowers and fruits for several years! >From the available literature it appears there is some confusion between them. I finally went with the description of P. robusta given in Talbot's Forest Flora of Bombay Presidency and Sind because it is the most detailed and most closely matches with the plants I have seen in Lonavala area. It may be that the plant displays some differences according to soil, exposure to wind etc. Please look it up and see what you think. If any experts can throw more light on the specific distinctions between these species that would be great! Thanks for posting this plant. Do try the fruits if you get a chance to pick them before the monkeys. They are very sweet. The seeds germinate easily and you can propagate the trees! regards Radha efi page on Phoenix loureiroi <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/ar/arecaceae/phoenix/phoenix-loureirii> (Syn: *Phoenix* *humilis* Royle ex Becc.
