Text: "This name was applied to a palm from the nursery collection of William Bull. The leaves were described as delicately textured and with narrow segments. The description is inadequate for correct identification. It could be a misspelling of Livistona inermis R.Br., which was a name erroneously applied to Livistona decora (W.Bull) Dowe in Europe at that time."

APC Comment: A name of uncertain application. Possibly an orthographic variant of Livistona inermis R.Br., misapplied to Livistona decora (W.Bull) Dowe in Australia.
