Editing Livistona humilis (section)

===Habitat: ===
Tall open lowland forest.
Stocker considers the occurrence of
closely related species in the monsoon forest and open
Eucalypt forest (''L. benthamii'' - ''L. humilis''), supports
the hypothesis that the monsoon forest communities are very
old communities which were probably well established in
Northern Australia before the development of eucalypt
dominated open forest communities. This would indicate that
''L. humilis'' has evolved and adapted with the open
eucalypt forest though its distribution is still restricted
to the higher rainfall areas.
It is nevertheless the most widespread species
present in the Northern Territory.
