Exclamation Alexander Palm or King Palm

This native species of Australia is also seldom called the Alexander Palm. This tree is characterized by its bottle-shaped, swollen trunk and its wide, dark leaves. When planting this palm on the coast it should receive full sun, and when planted inland it should be placed in a location where it will receive full sun to slight shade. Also, the king palm is best served when planted in a protected, non-windy location such as a wall or atrium area. This palm requires a 6'-8' diameter planting area and a good drainage system. It responds well in a humid environment and its foliage needs to be watered frequently in hot, dry weather. The King Palm does not transplant well.

Default Im not sure that is right...but it most def looks like it

I should have left the species name on there. It only had one part though. I didn't want to search for the actual common name or the availability for it. I like it though. I also like the king palm. Isn't there a cold hardy king palm? I don't know anything about palms. I am now just getting into the cool non common ones. I have a European fan palm and I think a windmill but that's really it.

the species name well part of it is Kentiopsis.

Do you know what type of palm that is?
