I am a little confused... about nomenclature: if this is Roystonea regia of Roystonea genus ... then its NOT a bottle palm... they two different animals.. Natives...of different regions of the world and one is prolific. the other is redlisted... (the true Bottle Palm is Hyophorbe lagenicaulis of genus Hyophorbe...) so may be I should wait someone who is studied palms tells me what it is... (Nolinas are also sometimes called bottle palms to confuse the issue with the true bottle palm... never confused with the Royal Palm) ....
There are more than one species which are called Bottle Palms. Its like Fan Palm, anything with a fan like leaf is a fan palm!! A true bottle palm is Hyophorbe lagenicaulis. Your Hazaribagh has so many trees of this in government complexes along the main road. Palm Trees of Bangalore - RA - Roystoneaa regi - Royal Palm Tree: Royal Palm is a truly aristocratic palm which makes a memorable impression wherever it is grown. Massive and symmetrical with a smoothly sculpted trunk this palm looks almost artificial. Eight inch long leaflets are arranged in rows along the 10' length of bright green pinnate leaves. Composed of 15 - 20 leaves, the canopy sits atop the crown shaft - a smooth, glossy extension of the trunk composed of the overlapping bases of the leaves. The crownshaft looks really smooth green. The trunk of the Royal Palm is swollen at the base. It constricts about halfway up and then bulges again just below the crownshaft creating a dramatic profile. The trunk is a smooth light gray that looks as if it had been cast from concrete. Royal palm produce a large 3' to 4' inflorescense on which both male and female flowers are borne, just at the base of the green crownshaft. Royal palm is native to cuba.
