Meanings
-
(Australia) A small palm, Livistona humilis, of the northern Northern Territory, that typically grows in sandy ground.
Breakfast was the white heart of a sand palm – succulent and bitter-sweet – and for ‘jam’ we ate bush apples and red ants with green bottoms that were so full of vitamin C they tasted like stings.
