    Has anyone heard of this plant?
    Someone was telling me they have this "rare" plant. I googled it and the only reference to it that I got, that wasn't B. nobilis at Half Moon Bay, was that same thread. The leaves don't go close to the full 360 degrees, like a typical Bismarck.
    Could this be a myth, a difference in the leaf growth for some reason or an actual "rare" plant?

    Oh and I can't post a pic because I don't own it...

    G'day Alex....yes you have a Bismarckia nobilis, but notice how your leaves go nearly all the way around. The one I saw (on another forum) the leaves only go half way around...
