As per efi thread :

1. The leaf of L. rotundifolia has uncut portion more than half, whereas in L. chinensis the cuts proceed below middle
2. The upper leaf surface more delicate and flatter in L. rotundifolia, deeper grooves in L. chinensis; 
  

 

Palm Tree for ID : 030811 : AK-3: Taken at Five Gardens Parsi Colony, Mumbai, Maharashtra on 10/4/11.
An approximate height of 35-40 feet. 


The palm is in clutter. From fruit and leaf bases it appears to be Livistona rotundifolia. Distant picture of canopy and stem would have helped the ID. 


I also go with Livistona rotundifolia.



 

Seen at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai during Tree Appreciation Walk.


Request for information: Please let me know why the common name “Footstool palm” has been given. The scientific name is “Livisona rotundifolia


… please check if reasoning at Gator Ventures helps you: … widely known as the footstool palm due to its large, round fronds … … As the palm ages fronds start splitting, losing it’s round, footstool appearance.


The leaves are rounded (rotund rounded; folia – leaf) and almost horizontal like a footstool, thats why!! But yes its just the appearance and it has nothing to do with the real footstool. Its also called fan palm, table palm, etc….
