Wodyetia bifurcata A.K.Irvine, Principes 27: 163 1983.;
.
   Palm for id 030311MK2: Kindly help to id this palm, located in a nursery near Chennai. I have also seen this tree being planted in city for ornamental purposes. Date: 08 Jan 2011 Yes it is Wodyetia bifurcata from the pinnate leaf, crown shaft, single stem and leaflets in 4 planes. It is called as Fox-tail Palm and originates from Australia. Wodyetia is a monotypic genus with W. bifurcata, endemic to Queensland. Taxonomically it is supposed to be very sound.        Trees of Lalbagh, Bangalore – RA – Wodyetia bifurcata, A. K. Irvine <=> Fox Tail Palm Tree : Attachments (7). 2 posts by 2 authors.
Most of the world was unaware of the existence of this ‘spectacular’ palm until 1978, when an Aboriginal man brought it to botanists and the world’s attention.
Flowering: White flowers stalk that comes from the base of the crownshaft.
Foliage: Variance of greenish colors; deep green to light green colors. Received its more commonly known Australian-English name from the appearance of its foliage, which is in a shape of a fox’s tail.
Fruits: 2 inches long. Olive green to green in the early stages. Orange red when ripe.
Trunk: Similar to the king palm, the foxtail palm trunk is smooth, thin, and self-cleaning. It grows a single, double, or triple trunk that is slightly spindle-shaped to columnar reaching heights of about 30 ft. The trunk also has a closely ringed, dark grey to light gray color which slowly turns more and more white.
The crownshaft of the foxtail palm is light to bright green and slightly swollen at the base (From Wikipedia)

Thank you … i thought i had seen mature specimen of this in a nursery that sells palms. I am glad it matches. Thanks …. Your ID is correct. Matches with photographs of Adonidia merrillii in the net.
Wodyetia bifurcata
adonidia sp ? size of the fruits?
I think these are more closer to images at Wodyetia bifurcata A.K.Irvine as suggested by … rather than those at Adonidia merrillii cultivated in India.
Leaves are totally different in both.
I send you my Adonidia & Wodyetia images for comparison. Apologies if I am wrong.
