Trachycarpus wagnerianus does not exist in the wild. It is indeed a form of Trachycarpus fortunei. Probably changed because of growing in a differnt climate.

Whatever has happened to Trachycarpus wagnerianus? According to the Kew checklist it has become a synonym of T. fortunei and this has been followed by Andrew Henderson in Palms of Southern Asia. But it is still mentioned (in passing) as T. wagnerianus in the last PALMS, in the article on T.takil by Gibbons and Spanner. Who is right? Ian Edwards
