Areca triandra and A. concinna are very similar. The difference lies in the number of stamens. A. triandra as the name indicates it is triandrous while A. concinna is hexandrous.
 

Pl. go through ‎Areca (‎‎‎‎Arecaceae) page with images of species (done by me) in efloraofindia.

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.

Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.
