because of the following features shown by the leaves
Coloured medium to dark green, the pinnae or leaflets are linear-shaped and up to 30 cm long, with jagged tips or seemingly torn ends. I think yes it is Ptychosperma macarthurii. We call it Palem Irian (Papua palm).

MacArthur Palm?
Kindly confirm id.
Ptychosperma macarthuri, but hardly any leaves visible to be sure. More pics should have been given.
Thanks for the id. I agree that I should have taken more pictures. In such a beautiful place, I could spend very little time. In that time which was available, there were heavy showers.
Also, we had to start off early to reach another place before 3 pm, as later the mist comes up and visibility is reduced.
… had asked me whether I had checked the fragrance of a particular flower. Had written to him, I was almost running from one plant/tree to the other.
No time to check how the picture has come out, check on the fragrance.
Unfortunately, I have just this one picture.

Palm tree seen with White Flowers on 28/7/13 at MNP in Mumbai.
Id please.
Palms are IDd from type of stem and leaves. A distant shot may help.
I will check if have more pictures.
Slightly like Ptychosperma macarthurii, but I am not sure because there is no complete leaf.
I could not find any more pictures taken on that day.
I have photographed Ptychosperma macarthurii in the same place earlier.
Also, on searching in Google Images, the flowers do match with the above, Mac Arthur Palm.
…, your id seems to be correct.
Adding two more pictures taken at MNP. These were posted on eflora earlier.

At the time of photographing I thought these were also fruits of Dypsis, for I didn’t notice leaves then and it was also growing beside those Dypsis, Now, I see it is not Dypsis, but Ptychosperma, may be same species to my IBG record.
I don’t have any more photographs, recorded yesterday.
Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please as Ptychosperma macarthurii (H.Wendl. ex H.J.Veitch) H.Wendl. ex Hook.f. Yes, certainly looks like Ptychosperma macarthurii

Palm for ID
Dear friends,
Please help in knowing this palm. I hope the photos show at least some aspects to know the genus. I will be glad to know ID to genus level. reminds me of Ptychosperma sp palm. based on the little bit of the stem i see and the leaf. the overall inflorescence would droop once laden with red fruits.
Thanks very much, …, for the hint. Let us wait for one or two validating comments.
of course. i just remember seeing it at green mall nursery. i am not a palm expert, even remotely. one who is … of the green mall of www. sahayoghortica.com
email: palms@ at the website above. another is Palmbob or dr stein at daves garden, who is a palm expert here, i do not know. … perhaps knows
my second choice is Balaka sp palms Calamus sp.? Yes, very much possible … Must be. Could be some rattan.
I must have thought of it the way it is planted next to wall for some support.
Pl. check with comparative images at Arecaceae OK, thanks …
no so easy, is it? I thought Calamus would be spiny. This one doesnt look spiny!!
Please check with Ptychosperma macarthurii?
I am no palm expert anyways…
I agree with … for Ptychosperma macarthurii as per images and details herein.
