A taxonomic account of the palm genus Livistona is presented. [...] Key Result Becc., L. rotundifolia var. mindorensis (Becc.) Becc. and L. robinsoniana Becc. placed as synonyms; L. fengkaiensis X.W.Wei & M.Y.Xiao is placed under L. speciosa Kurz; Livistona chinensis var. subglobosa (Hassk.) Becc. is placed under L. chinensis (Jacq.) R.Br. ex Mart.; Livistona tonkinensis Magalon is placed under L. saribus (Lour.) Merr. ex A.Chev.; and Livistona kimberleyana A.N.Rodd is placed under L. lorophylla Becc. A neotype…Expand

Livistona leichhardtii is the correct name for Livistona lorophylla (Arecaceae)
[Extract] Livistona R.Br. is the most speciose genus of palms in Australia, with 18 indigenous species (Dowe & Jones 2011). Although the taxonomy, nomenclature and typification of Livistona species… Expand
First record of fossil Trachycarpeae in Africa: three new species of Palmoxylon from the Oligocene (Rupelian) Gebel Qatrani Formation, Fayum, Egypt
Based on a survey of the fossil wood flora of Gebel Qatrani (Rupelian, Fayum, Egypt), three new species of palm stem are described: Palmoxylon araneus Nour-El-Deen, El-Saadawi & Thomas sp. nov.,… Expand
Morpho-anatomical characterization of diaspores and seedlings of Livistona rotundifolia
TLDR
The results of this study will contribute to the overall biology of L. rotundifolia, as well as to seedling production and species identification, subsidizing regeneration and conservation studies. Expand
Livistona palms in Australia: ancient relics or opportunistic immigrants?
TLDR
Strong support is found for the second hypothesis, that a single Livistona ancestor colonized Australia from the north about 10-17Ma, and was likely favoured by a transition from the aseasonal wet to monsoonal biome, to which it could have been preadapted by fire-tolerance. Expand
Not an ancient relic: the endemic Livistona palms of arid central Australia could have been introduced by humans
TLDR
The results rule out the ancient relic hypothesis for the origin of L. mariae, which suggested that the disjunction between the northern populations could have originated by intermittent colonization along an ancient river that has been drowned repeatedly by marine transgression. Expand
Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics
TLDR
It is concluded that palm systematic knowledge is far from complete and that tools, such as GP2, only stimulate further scientific research and discovery, so many aspects of the palm Tree of Life still remain scarcely known. Expand
A new analog of δ-tocopherol from Livistona halongensis, a novel species discovered in ha long bay of Vietnam
Livistona is a genus with 36 species of palms native to southern Asia, Australia, and Africa [1]. Four species have been described to be in Vietnam [2]. The new species Livistona halongensis T. H.… Expand
Development of microsatellite markers for the northern Australian endemic fan palm Livistona rigida (Arecaceae), with cross-amplification in the five related species
TLDR
The microsatellite markers described here will be useful for investigating the speciation and range formation processes of the recent radiation of the Livistona genus in Australia, and the results obtained from them will provide crucial information for conservation of Australian Livismona species. Expand
The palm family (Arecaceae): a microcosm of sexual system evolution
TLDR
The amazing diversity of sexual expression in palms is highlighted with a view to proposing scenarios to explain the evolution of this character, drawing on the numerous advances that have been made over the last 20 years in palm systematics, ecology, developmental biology, phylogenetics and genomics. Expand
Review of Vegetative Branching in the Palms (Arecaceae)
TLDR
The present study suggests that branching types have different evolutionary histories, and it is likely that the solitary habit is more common now than when palms initially diverged from commelinid relatives. Expand

Studies in the genus Livistona (Coryphoideae: Arecaceae)
TLDR
The distribution of species in otherwise floristically unrelated regions suggests that the genus is 'ancient', and that initial radiation may have occurred prior to tectonic events that isolated the landmasses on which ancestral species occurred. Expand

Pollen grains in Palmae
TLDR
The paper gives an account of Palmae pollen grains, which usually have a smooth sporoderm but rarely are spiny or warty, and concludes that Nipa is a distinct, isolated member of the PalMAe, supported by its non-colpate pollen grains. Expand
