Licuala spp. are fan palms, with the leaves mostly circular in outline, sometimes undivided but more usually divided into wedge-shaped segments. Licuala acutifida is the source of cane for the walking stick nicknamed the Penang-lawyer by colonials, probably from the Malay phrase Script error: No such module "Lang". for a wild areca, although the term may also refer to the use of these canes as deadly knobkerries to assassinate litigious enemies.[3] Several species of Licuala have been transferred into a new genus Lanonia.[4]
