Palm Tree for ID : Conservatory : Atlanta Botanical Garden : Atlanta, Georgia : 28NOV18 : AK-28 : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) i think tree fern; Cyathea sp. Thanks for the suggested id. Could be Cyanthea cooperi? Just a guess. Quite right to send it to me – of course “that ain’t no palm”, but a tree-fern! Cyathea species do, however, need a close up of the underneath of a pinnule to show hairs, small scales etc. My guess is it might be C. spinulosa, but that is itself a species-pair with a closely related cryptic second species – so the close-up is needed.    Thanks a lot for suggesting Cyathea Species. I could locate more pictures. Hope its the same plant with one leaf turning yellow. Adding them. Name suggests Cyathea intermedia. Names have been clicked whenever easily visible. Attachments (3)
