| East-West palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), also known as the traveler's tree or Traveler's palm, is a species of flowering plant found in Madagascar. It is not a true palm but a member of the family Strelitziaceae. The enormous paddle-shaped leaves are borne on long petioles, in a distinctive fan shape aligned in a single plane. The large white flowers are generally considered less attractive, with a green bract. Seeds are brilliant blue in color. As the plant grows older, it progressively loses the lowest or oldest leaves and reveals a sturdy grey trunk. |
