''Livistona mariae'', commonly called central Australian cabbage palm or red cabbage palm, is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family. It is found only in Australia with the best-known occurrence found in Palm Valley in Finke Gorge National Park, Northern Territory. There are more than 3,000 cabbage palms in Palm Valley, many of which are several hundred years old and form a lush oasis among the rugged rocks and gorges. This region is now largely dry Central Ranges xeric scrubland. The palms are not relics from a previous age when Central Australia was much wetter, as previously thought. Aboriginal legend recorded in 1894 by Carl Strehlow describes "gods from the north" bringing the seeds to Palm Valley, which concords with the more modern research. == References == * Johnson, D. 1998.
