Saribus rotundifolius is a round-leaf fountain palm found in
Southeast Asia. It is a member of the genus Saribus. It is also called
Footstool palm (English) and Anáhaw (Filipino). It is the unofficial national
leaf of the Philippines. It is a common
landscaping plant in the region. It can grow in sub-tropical climates and
humid, tropical areas.
The leaves are used for thatching and food wrapping.
Overharvesting of leaves of wild plants have reduced leaf size. The leaves do
grow faster after harvest but tend to be smaller. In September 2011, after DNA research the
reclassification from the genus Livistona to the resurrected genus Saribus was
official.
