Giant windowpane palm (Beccariophoenix fenestralis)
Description
Beccariophoenix fenestralis (new name) is a spectacular, massive Coconut relative, that is rare and endangered.Seeds: these seeds are slightly ovoid, about 1" x 3/4". on the tree, they were purple eggplant shaped fruit and when I cleaned them the husk reminded me of the outer layer of a coconut. they looked just like the attached photo from palmpedia. I am sure they are fertile because I have about 12 seedlings growing now from the last collection. based on the photo, I determined they were B. fenestralis. it is my understanding that all the Beccario's look the same as mature trees.
