    Need help in identifying this indoor palm like tree.

    Single stalk/trunk. Stands approx. 5'. Leaves 2-3" width, up to 24" in length.

    Not a ponytail palm (Nolina/Beaucarnea). Apart from trunk swollen at base its leaves are not 2-3 in wide and they are more finely tapering at tips.

    I wonder if Dracaena draco grown in poor light might not look like this?
