  The ones on Mt. Lewis all have very regular pinnae, and look somewhat like Chamadorea elegans. The fruit are minute and globular, while those of L. minor are very elongated. The other way to distinguish it from Linospadix minor is the white scurf on the petioles of the newer fronds; petioles of L. minor are green. Mt. Lewis, Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, north Queensland. Photo by tanetahi, edric.
