    There are other kinds of tropical plants with leaves like these as well. If a palm should have trunklike stems where leaves come together at bases.

    How about Molineria capitulata (syn. Curculigo capitulata, Curculigo recurvata), Palm Grass?

    That would be one of the other kinds. There's one seen in Hawaiian forests that looks like it, too, maybe the same thing or related.

    Thank you guys. I looked the plant up and it seems to match. You've ended a 5 year mystery!

    Thanks again.
