Description and distribution
It is a palm with large fan-shaped leaves on spiny petioles.[4]
Livistona jenkinsiana is native from Bhutan to Thailand.[3]
It is very like L.speciosa in its leaves and the downward curving spines on the petioles of its leaves, but it is distinguished from this species by its fruit colour (leaden-blue vs turquoise-iridescent), by its fruit being wider than long vs longer than wide, and by the branching of its infructescence which is to the third order rather than the fourth.[4]
