I would agree with you. I don't think Areca Palms have netting on the trunk.
plantladylin said:I have a few Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens) growing in my yard and there is no fiber present on any of them. I don't know if any other Areca species have the fiber/thatch stuff.
Cat Palm (Chamaedorea cataractarum) and Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) doesn't show fiber either.
I used to have a Majesty Palm: http://garden.org/plants/searc... and it never had fiber on the base.
Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) is sometimes sold as a houseplant and I think they do have the fiber along the base.

Yeah, the netting as well as the quite wide and droopy leaflets makes me think it might be a Kentia! Also, Areca palms usually have more of a yellow stem, don't they?
