Palm Tree for ID : 030811 : AK-3<\/a>: Taken at Five Gardens Parsi Colony, Mumbai, Maharashtra<\/font> on 10\/4\/11.
An approximate height of 35-40 feet.<\/font>\u00a0\n<\/div>\n

\n

The palm is in clutter. From fruit and leaf bases it appears to be Livistona rotundifolia<\/i>. Distant picture of canopy and stem would have helped the ID.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n

I also go with Livistona rotundifolia<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Seen at Jijamata Udyan,<\/font> Mumbai<\/font> during Tree Appreciation Walk.<\/p>\n

Request for information:<\/a> Please let me know why the common name “Footstool palm<\/b>” has been given. The scientific name is “Livisona rotundifolia<\/i>“<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
… please check if reasoning at Gator Ventures<\/font><\/a> helps you: … widely known as the footstool palm<\/b> due to its large, round fronds <\/font>… … As the palm ages fronds start splitting, losing it’s round, footstool appearance.<\/p>\n
\n

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