[edit] Image identification

The picture on the right is incorrect; Kentia Palms do not have trunks. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.216.135.12 (talk • contribs)

Can anyone confirm or otherwise? I checked against other pics on the internet, Kentia Palm does have a trunk, but the leaves of this pic don't quite match others on the internet, so I'm a little dubious of the identification - MPF 21:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Kentia palms most certainly do have trunks. They grow into tall trees. The anonymous commenter above may be thinking of kentias grown as houseplants, which stay quite small when rootbound in pots. As to the identification of this photo, I'm no expert and am not sure either way - it looks close enough to me to be feasible. Maybe I'll just upload one of my photos taken on Lord Howe Island, where we can be sure of the identification. :-) -dmmaus 23:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
That's way better, thanks ;-) A pic of the species in the wild is almost always better than something in a greenhouse! - MPF 08:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
