Arecaceae
The ANHAT database has 10669 records for 58 species and subspecies of Arecaceae.
No species of Arecaceae are considered extinct.
Six species account for approximately 50% of the total species records in ANHAT
(Table 217). These species have over 400 records each, and in the case of the
Livistona humilis, over 2000 records.

Fifteen species had 30 or fewer individual records in the ANHAT database (Table
218). This is just over 25% of the species from this family with records in ANHAT.
Four species are classified as threatened (including one species classified as
endangered). The small number of remaining species and limited information
available for many makes it difficult to confidently assert that any patterns present in
the varying conservation categories represent real trends and this is not generally
attempted. Exclusion of these poorly recorded species eliminates 269 records.
