This is certainly not Daemonorops crinita but with the information sent I cannot say exactly what it is - I would need to see a climbing stem - and, of course, inflorescences would help!

Where is the specimen from? Difficult to say what it is from the images, but if its from southwestern India its probably Calamus thwaitesii
