Sue, I see that as a basal keiki too. It would look like it is growing off
the main stem, because it most likely is.

Steve is correct on that. It is just one long trunk. 4 leaves at the

roots are all coming out righ where each leaf joins the trunk, on both

OK, no Keiki. Shucks It appears to be streaching for the light,
thus space between leaves.. But this is a new acquisition. So maybe
your situation will allow it to grow a more normal cluster.
