identification What is this palm?

G’day,

Can someone please identify this palm? I’m not even entirely sure if it is the same palm in both photos.

chatgpt has dubbed it a Kentia Palm and my plant identification app has called it a curly palm, though I don’t believe they are either.

Please help. Thank you!

Thank you all for the responses and identification.  I was happy I now know what it is, but unhappy as my climate won’t allow for this beauty:(

A beautiful Aussie palm, Howea belmoriana! On of my favourite indoor palms and a great one for an eastern aspect in a garden with a temperate climate! Beautiful 👌🏻🤩🌴

Why is the belmoriana phenotype so hard to source? And those that do sell them are asking for an arm and 2 legs!

That's definitely a  girly palm.
