Possible mis-identification

The photos of a plant identified as possibly the same species..."seaforthia elegans"...look nothing like this palm, which is much thinner than those palms in the 1910 photos. Also, note the spelling is not the same either (seaforehia?)

At minimum, there's a spelling error. But it may also be an entirely different species.

Can someone double-check this possibly false association.
