These palms growing at Bell Gorge, Kimberley region, were labelled as Livistona kimberleyana.  I don't know if that is still a valid name.

The names L. kimberleyana and L. lorophylla are now considered to be synonyms of the (now) accepted name L. leichardtii.

Oops. Mispelled. It's L. leichhardtii. Name dates back to 1874.

National parks don't always get names right on their interps signs although for the most part they're pretty good. But when it comes to name changes they're pretty hopeless.

Kimberleyana was published in the 1990's but by about 2010 it was placed in lorophylla. About 2021 it was accepted that lorophylla was correctly named leichhardtii back in 1874, as mentioned above. So earliest naming takes precedence.
