At a local (Hawaii) friend’s house. He asked what kind and was told it was a Makata palm.

He spent years seeking one for his garden with no luck. Nobody ever heard of it till finally he went to a nursery in Hilo on the Big Island.

It was a Macarthur palm, which he only knew from the tag, as the nursery owner too called it a Makata palm.
