A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

A clumping palm tree species that is flowering and fruiting in these photos. It is not known if this is a species native to New Guinea. (perhaps a Hydriastele sp.?)
Planted as an ornamental in a semi-urbanized lowland environment, in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
Thanks but this is not the chewing kind which is cultivated everywhere in lowland Papua. I don't know if this is Areca sp. but it may be,
