 Livistona woodfordii was described by Ridley (1898) from the collection Micholitz s.n. from "insula Polynesiae" and annotated as "S. S. Islands" on the specimen labels, and named for the English naturalist, Charles Morris Woodford (b. 1852, d. 1927), who collected natural history specimens in the Solomon Islands (1886-1914) and was the colony's first Acting High Commissioner (1896-1915) (Woodford, 1890; Golden, 1993). There are discrepancies regarding the collection date of the type specimen. On the type it is written as 1898, but the itinerary of Micholitz shows he was in the Solomon Islands in October 1897, and in the Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea, in Apr/May 1898 (van Steenis-Kruseman, 1950). The date on the type could relate to the time that Ridley received the specimen rather than its collection date. An expanded description was provided by Beccari (1931), and was in part based on an inflorescence and fruit collection, Macgregor s.n., in the Louisiade Archipelago, most probably in1888 (Thomson, 1889; van Steenis-Kruseman, 1950). Beccari (1931) related that the MacGregor specimen was sent to him by Mueller prior to 1889 (in 1888, via Hermann Wendland, according to Burret (1941)). Burret (1941), providing taxonomic and descriptive notes on some species of Livistona, concluded that the Louisiade collection was a different species and named it L. beccariana. As Burret?s description was based on the Macgregor collection, it is the type. Burret provided a detailed description of the inflorescence and fruit fragments, but nothing of the palm's habit or leaves. Livistona beccariana is hereby placed as a synonym of L. woodfordii. Livistona woodfordii is a moderate canopy palm to 16 m tall; leaves are moderate and regularly segmented; segment apices are semi-pendulous, and with a bifurcate cleft 5-23% of the segment length; the inflorescence is basally trifurcate, not extending beyond the limit of the crown, and with up to 10 partial inflorescences; bracts are tubular; flowers (sepals and petals) are red; fruit are globose, to 12 mm diam., and reddish orange to reddish brown at maturity.
