Additional Info
Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as Traveller’s Palm, is a species of plant from Madagascar. It is not a true palm (Arecaceae) but a member of the bird-of-paradise family.
It has been given the name “traveler’s palm” because the sheaths of the stems hold rainwater, which can be used as an emergency drinking supply.
