Caryoteaeis atribewithin the palm familyArecaceae,^[1]^[2]distributed acrossSoutheast Asia,from southernIndiaandSri Lankaeast toVanuatuand northernmostQueensland,Australia.It was historically classified under thesubfamily Arecoideaedue to itsinflorescences,which resemble those of the tribeIriarteeae,and its flowers arranged in triads (with two male flowers and one central female flower), a common trait in Arecoideae.^[3]However,phylogeneticstudies based onDNArepeatedly link Caryoteae to subfamilyCoryphoideae.Caryoteae do have leaves with induplicate folds, a feature found in most Coryphoid palms, but unlike most Coryphoideae, the leaves are pinnate (Arenga,Wallichia) or bipinnate (Caryota).^[4]^[5]Phoenixis the only other Coryphoid genus with induplicate, pinnate leaves.^[5]
