Livistona humilis, the sand palm, is an Australian plant species of the family Arecaceae.

His collaborator Ferdinand Bauer, the botanist and master illustrator, produced artworks to accompany Brown's descriptions, but these were not published until 1838.

[5] The holotype of this species was collected in January 1803 by Robert Brown from Morgans Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

[6] The sand palm is endemic to the north of the Northern Territory of Australia, from the Fitzmaurice River to Cape Arnhem and inland as far as Katherine.

The core of the stem is pounded and made into a drink which is used to treat coughs, colds, chest infections, diarrhea, and tuberculosis.
