"Livistona rotundifolia" is a round-leaf fountain palm found in Southeast Asia. It is a member of the genus "Livistona". It is also called Footstool palm (English) and "Anáhaw" (Filipino). It is the national leaf of the Philippines.

It is a common landscaping plant in the region. It can grow in sub-tropical climates and humid, tropical areas.

The leaves are used for thatching and food wrapping. Overharvesting of leaves of wild plants have reduced leaf size. The leaves do grow faster after harvest but tends to be smaller.
