Trachycarpeae

Palms in this tribe have palmate leaves with induplicate folds (reduplicate in Guihaia). Plants may be tall, single-stemmed trees (e.g. Copernicia, Brahea, Pritchardia), acaulescent with short, squat trunks (e.g. Maxburretia, Johannesteijsmannia), multi-stemmed (e.g. Rhapis, Acoelorraphe) or branched and prostrate (e.g. Serenoa). These palms flower regularly throughout their lives (pleonanthic) and may be dioecious, monoecious or hermaphroditic.

Trachycarpeae is one of eight tribes in the subfamily Coryphoideae.{{Cite journal|last1=Dransfield|first1=John|last2=Uhl|first2=Natalie W.|last3=Asmussen|first3=Conny B.|last4=Baker|first4=William J.|last5=Harley|first5=Madeline M.|last6=Lewis|first6=Carl E.|date=2005|title=A new phylogenetic classification of the palm family, Arecaceae|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/215898364|journal=Kew Bulletin|volume=60|pages=559–569|via=ResearchGate}} The tribe is monophyletic, but phylogenetic studies have yet to reveal its closest relatives, though they could be the Phoeniceae, or the Sabaleae and Cryosophileae. Initially described as tribe 'Livistoneae', the name Trachycarpeae has priority. In previous classifications, all the members of this tribe were included in tribe Corypheae.{{Cite book|title=Genera Palmarum: A Classification of Palms Based on the Work of Harold E.

Trachycarpeae is divided into two subtribes: Rhapidinae have flowers with three separate carpels, whereas in subtribe Livistoniinae the flower carpels are free at the base, but the styles are fused together. All genera in Rhapidinae are native to the Old World, except North American Rhapidophyllum. Livistoninae are widely distributed in both the New World and Southeast Asia and Australia. A single species (Livistona carinensis) has its main area of distribution in Africa, with Chamaerops humilis extending into northern Africa. Several genera in this tribe have yet to be allocated to a subtribe, due to a lack of convincing data from phylogenetic studies.

The above classification was published prior to the recognition of the genera Saribus and Lanonia; however, both are clearly members of subtribe Livistoniinae. Saribus includes species formerly in Livistona and monotypic Pritchardiopsis,{{Cite journal|last1=Bacon|first1=Christine D.|last2=Baker|first2=William J.|date=2011|title=Saribus Resurrected|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233497879|journal=Palms|volume=55 |issue=3|pages=109–116|via=ResearchGate}} while Lanonia species were previously included in Licuala.{{Cite journal|last1=Henderson|first1=Andrew J.|last2=Bacon|first2=Christine D.|date=2011|title=Lanonia (Arecaceae: Palmae), a New Genus from Asia, with a Revision of the Species|jstor=41416905|journal=Systematic Botany|volume=36|issue=4|pages=883–895|doi=10.1600/036364411x604903|s2cid=84318474}}{{Cite journal|last1=Henderson|first1=Andrew|last2=Dung|first2=Nguyen Quoc|date=2017-09-29|title=New species of Lanonia, Licuala, and Pinanga (Arecaceae) from Vietnam|url=https://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.323.2.4|journal=Phytotaxa|language=en|volume=323|issue=2|page=159|doi=10.11646/phytotaxa.323.2.4|issn=1179-3163|url-access=subscription}}
