I've had this particular palm for around ten years, and it tends to bloom around twice a year. Each it time it does I wonder, is it male or female? Do I have to dissect the enclosed flowers to find out, or is it possible to tell from their outside appearance?

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

Should be similar to C. elegans. The difference is observable even with my poor eyesight, but I couldn't see your blooms well enough to have an opinion.

Ah, thank you, that palmtalk link was just what I needed. Looks like I have a male, though the flowers haven't cracked open as in the pictures there. I've never noticed them to do so, but I'll keep an eye on them.

Happy to try to help your investigation. I wish the male/female thing was more widely discussed regarding these palms. In a fantasy world - labeled. People could buy the mate for their first plant and have fun with the seeds. ...but then I guess they wouldn't have so much need for buying pots of 37 crammed-together sprouts.
Best luck with your plant!
