This may not be Licuala grandis because the cleft at the tip of leaves are deeper in this picture whereas, the same in Licuala grandis is very shallow. 

We shall wait for others comments.

Giby

The apex of leaf segment is not drooping hence it would be Livistona
rotundifolia. Anyway young palms can be misleading for ID. Regards,

I have studied the two plants on the net and found the following relevant info

Considering these points does it favor more to be Livistonia chinensis

Attaching new pictures showing Petiole and its attachment to the leaf blade which was not clear in previous pictures

Please validate

	Livistonia chinensis	Livistona rotundifolia	Plant posted by me
Petiole		Petioles longer than the leaf blades, stout, round spines on the petiole;	Petiole is not longer than leaf blade, spines do not appear round
Leaf	The leaves of t his palm are fairly large and marked costapalmate (palmate but with a ‘costa' or midrib down the middle at which point the palm has a deep ‘V') with elegant drooping leaflets about the distal ¼ of the leaf.	leaf blades round, not deeply incised, the tips not drooping or scarcely drooping	The leaves of t his palm are fairly large and marked with a midrib down the middle at which point the palm has a deep ‘V')

Licuala is out of contention, because it has leaves, almost undivided blade with toothed outer margin

There is a close race between Livistona chinensis and L. rotundifolia, but I will go with L. chinensis for two reasons

1. The leaf of L. rotundifolia has uncut portion more than half, whereas in L. chinensis the cuts proceed below middle

2. The upper leaf surface more delicate and flatter in L. rotundifolia, deeper grooves in L. chinensis

The plant is too young to show pendulous tips, generally seen in older plants.

But who knows, some other species may spring up. Frankly I don't have much experience with palms, but know Licuala and Livistona clear differences.
