Anyone have any more info

Here's a New Zealand link with so many Dypsis listed!!!!!

They have a "short list" on the first page, and then a FULL LIST at the bottom of same page

Another beauty in the works, Steve.

Thanks for the links! So many Dypsis, and so little space to grow them all
The Fairchild list has 138 species, with plenty more still being sorted out.

From what I've heard of the rampant deforestation of Madagascar by a population hungry to earn farming dollars, it's wonderful that a lot of the palms people are propagating will keep those species going.

You've got a little ways to go to reach 138, Steve.

138 species ? amazing that they can pinpoint that many different varieties of one species.

[Knnn]

Using the Kew checklist, there are 164 species listed in the genus.

(type in "Dypsis" to get the results)

These are just the accepted names

A bit slow growing for me, but tolerant of a cool GH.

It's 19C 66F in Madagascar, so yours may be waiting for some warmth.

My three triangles indoors are pushing fronds now, always get the seasons bass-ackwards.
Obviously seasonality is locked in their DNA, irrespective of where they're situated.

Nice looking seedlings.
