Saribus is a genus of palms (family Arecaceae), native to Southeast Asia, Papuasia and Pacific Islands.[1] They are fan palms, the leaves with an armed petiole terminating in a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflets.[2]
Livistona is closely related to the genus Saribus, and for a time Saribus was included in Livistona. Recent studies, however, have advocated separating the two groups.[1][2]
Anáhaw (Saribus rotundifolius) is the unofficial national leaf of the Philippines.[3]
