A hidden beauty beneath its leaves
This unique species owes its name to the extraordinary coppery-brown, floccose tomentum covering the underside of its leaves. This exceptionally rare colour among palms remains hidden until light or movement in the foliage reveals its spectacular coloration, creating a contrast of beauty that is difficult to match. A unique characteristic that makes this Australian species one of the most ornamental and fascinating Livistona palms for any collection.
Habitat: Moist forests and wooded areas, especially in ravines, gorges and alongside streams and waterfalls, on sandstone soils.
Distribution: Endemic to the Blackdown Tableland in central Queensland, Australia.
Description: Single-stemmed, functionally dioecious palm, up to 13 metres tall, with a greyish to brown trunk, greyish-green costapalmate leaves with an extraordinary coppery-brown underside, spiny petioles and small bluish-black fruits.
