Serenoa repens
Found in most habitats in Florida, from seaside to undergrowth in pine forests. Staple of the dry scrub community.
In the second picture you can see the "Saws" on either side of the leaf stem. Also notice that unlike in the Sabal/cabbage palm the leaf stem of palmettos does not extend into the center of the leaf.
