PALM, RED

botanical name unknown
The follow species all have red palm as one of their common names and I have no idea which of them are represented on this page unless specifically listed.

Acanthophoenix rubra
Astrocaryum chambira
Astrocaryum spp.
Cocos nucifera
Cyrtostachsys lakka
Phoenix canariensis

my samples: colors are accurate throughout. These were all bought at the same time from one vendor and were not identified botanically so given that omission and given the color, I am not 100% convinced that these are actually red palm and not black palm but I list them here as what they were stated to be.
