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]

gollark: But *why*?
gollark: IPv6 is becoming increasingly important, what with all the issues with IPv4 address availability.
gollark: Also, your way would probably cause IPv6 issues, but I assume you don't care about that either.
