Quick Facts Saribus, Scientific classification ...

Livistona is closely related to the genus Saribus, and for the past century and half Saribus was included in Livistona. Recent studies, however, have advocated separating the two groups.[2][3] The generic epithet Saribus comes from a local name in one of the Maluku languages, sariboe, as recorded by the Dutch.[4]

Anáhaw (Saribus rotundifolius) is the unofficial national leaf of the Philippines.[5]
