It's nothing that would have come from my two nurseries nor anything that I've seen in a tropical or a subtropical climate.
It might help others to identify it if you post what climate it grows in, either in terms of zone or specific city and state/country. |

I didn't think it was that difficult :)
It's about 20-30 cm high and grows here in western Germany (temperate climate)- Leaves are about 2-3 cm long

| No, there is a chance that it isn't that difficult for someone who happens to be familiar with it. Having been in the plant business for almost 15 years, however, it is difficult for me because it is something that probably wouldn't stand a chance in the heat and humidity where I live. Now that I know the climate that it grows in I might be able to figure it out by looking through some reference books that I have. The problem is that I stored them away at a friend's house when I closed down my businesses and went into photography full time. But the geographical and climate information will probably help someone else to identify it. |

Looks a bit like Lambs Ear to me, only in a vine. Google image "lambs ear" & look to see if any of that looks like yours.

| I did think it was similar to a "Lamb's ear" plant. |

Does anyone know the species name for this type of palm? (Taken in Los Angeles)  |

Washingtonia filifera if they are native since that is the only palm native to California

If you close your eyes and imagine a typical Southern California landscape, chances are that you've pictured at least one palm tree, if not several, rising from the ground. But despite the diversity and ubiquity of palms in the Los Angeles area, only one species—Washingtonia filifera, the California fan palm—is native to California. All of L.A.'s other palm species, from the slender Mexican fan palms that line so many L.A. boulevards to the feather-topped Canary Island date palm, have been imported.
Taken from: HERE
Maybe that will help your google search.

| They look like Indian Date Palms to me, but that happens to be one of the varieties I know, and I'm no palm expert... They COULD be Washingtonia, as mentioned by CEJ, as well. Those are the only two really tall, skinny p[alms I can name :-) |

So you're suggesting I should consult one of those "psychics" who specializes in palmistry?  |
