44-464: Is actually the same species as Livistona rigida from samples collected near Katherine and Mount Isa , both around 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) away. The research by Professor David Bowman and colleagues at the University of Tasmania concluded that the populations separated only about 15,000 years ago.

When desiccated pools fill with water, the resting eggs hatch into nauplii , and rapidly develop to adulthood. Reproduction succeeds within
