Livistona eastonii is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is a palm tree native to the Kimberley Region of northern Western Australia.[2]
Plants grow up 15 meters tall. They are functionally dioecious, flowering from April to September and fruiting from December to June.[2]
The species is native to the Mitchell Plateau, which has a strongly monsoonal climate. The palms grow in large colonies on flat sites and depressions in open woodland from 100 to 380 metres elevation, typically on lateritic soils.[2]
