Livistona endauensis is a fan palm endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, known as Endau fan palm or bertam serdang Endau. It is a rare forest tree of infertile slopes and ridges, so it is grown mainly by specialist collectors rather than as a common ornamental.
Livistona endauensis is a species of palm tree of the genus Livistona. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It has been called Endau fan palm in English. In Malay the palm is known as bertam or serdang Endau.
It is found in lowland open and closed forests. In the jungles where it occurs, it is found in a specific habitat on edaphically marginal, infertile soils on slopes, ridges and on hill tops. In such places it is a dominant part of the vegetation, but only in some areas. This is thought to very likely be due to being specialised on growing in sedimentary soil derived from granite or igneous rock from the Jasin complex. Other often conspicuous trees associated with this habitat are the dipterocarps Cotylelobium lanceolatum and Shorea blumutensis.
