    Saribus rotundifolius, round-leaf fountain palm, is a palm found in Southeast Asia.[1]


    It is a member of the genus Saribus. It is also called footstool palm (English) and as

    Anhaw or Luyong (Filipino).[2] The foliage of the Saribus rotundifolius 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.[1]

    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.[1]

    In September 2011, after DNA research the reclassification from the genus Livistona
    to the resurrected genus Saribus was official.[3]
