Palm Tree for ID : Lalbagh,Bangalore : 030612 : AK-3: A palm seen at Lalbagh, Bangalore on the 15th of April,12.

A spreading out palm, not the tall one.
Black fruits and probably what looked like yellow flowers when picture was taken.

Leaf stalks are 1.3-2.3 m long, 12.5-20 cm wide, saw-toothed, broadened at base, fibrous, green. Leaves are compound, 3.3-5 m long, with 100-150 pairs of leaflets.

A Palm tree seen in Lalbagh during my visit in Jan, 2020.

I have only this picture.


Jubaea chilensis? 


I think looks different from Jubaea chilensis as per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubaea


A similar one seen earlier in Lalbagh is Elaeis guineensis, the African Oil Palm.
This could also be the same.


Yes, appears close to images at Elaeis guineensis
