Dear Friends :)

Here is a little fan palm also brought from local nursery,Which was labelled as fan palm.So i would like you all to ID this palm.So that it would be useful to start a palm maintanence thread of this palm.

Is this palm a Livistona rotundifolia , Livistona jenkinsiana or is it Livistona robinson...etc ? :hmm:

Even though the leaves look a bit close together compared to my L.rotundifolia, it has the black spines, exactly like my rotundifolias. Hope this helps a bit.

Kostas, according to the Kew site L. jenkinsiana is an accepted name. L. robinsoniana is a synonym of L. rotundifolia.

This is very interesting! My impression was that L. rotundifolia and L. robinsonia were distinct.

Best Wishes,

Thanks Jeffsmilie.gif

I remember these 2 were merged lately but i dont know what used to distinguish them...Its always interesting to know that as many times the former species merged do have notable differences.

L robinsoniana is unarmed while L rotundifolia is armed, at least that's what the books say. Also L robinsoniana reportedly is more cold tolerant than L rotundifolia. Years back I ordered L robinsoniana seed and ended up with seedlings with spines. I just assumed they were L rotundifolia and I got the wrong seeds by mistake. Was I wrong to assume that?

Best regards

I was always told they were different species too. But there were supposedly 2 varieties of rotundifolia...from different parts of the philipines. One is supposed to be more cold tolerant than the other. Something for sale as L.robinsoniana I have never been able to find.

This thread is becoming intreasting...But in the Rps site we can find 2 of these above discussed seeds..

http://www.rarepalms...op/LivRot.shtml

http://www.rarepalms...op/LivJen.shtml

Now what do you say about this 2 varities...By the way if one is a livistonia fan,then that person should collect all the 3 discussed varities...:hmm:

Same is the case with Corypha Macropoda,It has been branded as variety belonging to the C.Utan and not a seperate entity.While once sees a C.Macropoda you will know what iam talking about.And if a serious collector of palms sees it,i know what the effect will be ! :winkie:

Love,

kris :)
