Found this pic online; claims it is Trachycarpus martianus, but I have my doubts.
Anyone know what it might be?

Re: Palm identity
Funny enough i have just seen a large palm labelled martianus in a botanical garden t.his morning. It clearly isn't.
Re: Palm identity
I suspect it's Livistona chinensis, Quote from t'internet "Binomial name, Livistona chinensis.
(Jacquin) R. Brown ex Martius in C. F. P. von Martius et al."

Re: Palm identity
Either a Livistona or a Washingtonia, definitely not Trachycarpus martianus though...
