- Livistona tahanensis is a species of medium-sized palm tree of the genus Livistona, found on only one mountain top in Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. In Malay the palm is known as Tahan serdang, or as daun tau. T.C. Whitmore, writing in 1970, describes that the palms are seen after a four days' hike from Kuala Tahan, up the ridge behind Kuala Teku through tall dipterocarp jungle, until, suddenly, at 2,940 feet (900 m) in altitude up the slopes of the remote Gunong Tahan (Tahan mountain), the dense vegetation breaks and a low, stunted, small-leaved, upper montane forest takes over, continuing to 4,500 feet (1,400 m), and in sheltered locations to 5,000 feet (1,500 m). Out of this elfin forest, the stiff crowns of Tahan serdang grow as emergents, and the air is filled with the sound of the wind sighing through them. The palm hearts are eaten by wild elephants. (en)
