This kind of palm tree has been confused with another type of palm, which was initially called Dypsis sp. Bejofa.[3] Now this kind is called as Dypsis sp. 'Bejofa'.[3] Despite the fact that the names have changed because of the similarity in the names, there is still confusion, even though, their appearances are different.[3]
