Craig- That looks like a Livistona to me, but I don't know what species. Tito

Thanks for the reply Tito. I have germinated a few Livistonia and this seed is different from any I have tried. Below is a pic of one of the seeds and a brazoira seed for reference. Like I said the fruit of the palm looked just like a palmetto seed, but had multiple seeds inside it. The pencil is pointing to the seed in question.

Thanks

Where in Florida is this located?

Sure looks like Sabal palmetto but with that ruled out, the crown on the palm looks somewhat like a mature, not very robust Sabal mexicana. I don't think the big seed from S. mexicana matches up with what you have though.

Steve,
The seeds were collected at Dodgertown in Vero Beach.

that does look like a S. PALMETTO. my friend brought me some S. Palmetto seeds back from Fla, and they look EXACTLY like the bigger seed on the left. it may not be a Palmetto but it looks like it to me. :)

Just a follow up. The seeds turned out NOT to be a palm at all. The seeds are from some other plant near the palm.

That is a Sabal Palmetto. If its not, its one of its VERY CLOSE relatives. You can clearly see the costapalmate leaves. Another characteristic that makes me think that is Sabal Palmetto is the change in trunk size. You can see 2/3rds the way up the trunk it gets fatter. Sabal palmettos often have this, and sometimes have it where it gets bigger, then smaller again, then gets bigger again.

Im going with S. Palmetto here. That looks nothing like a livistonia of any kind to me.
