'''''Livistona rigida''''' has been lumped with Livistona mariae until recently 'released' by Dowe to its own species status. However, telling them apart is a real challenge. Like Livistona mariae, younger plants have a nice reddish hue to their foliage and petioles that sadly fades away with maturity.

-'''''Livistona rigida''''' has been lumped with Livistona mariae until recently 'released' by Dowe to its own species status.  However, telling them apart is a real challenge.  Like Livistona mariae, younger plants have a nice reddish hue to their foliage and petioles that sadly fades away with maturity.  But adult palms have smaller leaves, more deeply costapalmate, leaflets are more rigid (less pendulous near tips) and there are some minor flower differences, too.  It would be nice to have two confirmed adult palms of either species growing side by side.
