Default im guessing

My best guess is that it's a Kerriodoxa elegans, and if it is then yes, it can be grown indorrs. It is a semi cold hardy, shade loving palm. 9b-10a cold tolerant.

Default They look like part of the Pritchardia family

The strain or genus species could be the variable... They are beautiful looking palms especially when in tehir natural environment. The Hilton on the island of Waikiki has a beautiful lush tropical garden with many different Pritchardias and they placed vivd colored tropical foliage throughout. They even have a toucan living there. Very beautiful looking but definitely not nice to get close too.

Maybe you can do some research and find out that website and track down that picture. Did you have any plans for the palm?
