Dear Rashida Ji, The very first time I looked at your pictures, I thought it was Areca (later on referring wikipedia, I agree with Mr. Tanay that it is Areca Catechu ). The first three pictures definitely look like Areca Catechu, however when I had a look at the last picture I had my doubts. Having gone through the wikipidia site I think Tanay ji is right. Copying the link below. http://www.google.co.in/search?q=Areca+catechu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&client=firefox-a&rlz=1R1GGGL_en___IN364 I have quite a few of these palms and the fruits on the palms in your pictures are Areca Nuts. Regards Yazdy.
