Bentham's Fan Palm


Bentham's Fan Palm, Livistonia benthami
A very common palm of the Australian Top end. This one is still young, I've seen specimen growning very tall, but - as palms do - not growing in diameter as they mature.
The locals said the stem was very hard and used by the Aborigenees for several purposes.
