Text: "This appears to be a horticultural tag name applied to Livistona inermis acut. non. R.Br., a name incorrectly used for Livistona decora (W.Bull) Dowe in horticulture in the late 1800s. Without a description or specimens it cannot be placed."

APC Comment: A name of uncertain application. Possibly referable to Livistona inermis R.Br., here considered a misapplication to Livistona decora (W.Bull) Dowe in Australia (see J.L.Dowe & D.L.Jones in A.Wilson (ed.), Fl. Australia 39: 209 (2011)).
