Ravenala madagascariensis

 

 

The traveler's palm is one of nature's most distinctive and remarkable plants. The traveler's palm (not a true palm) has been described as being part banana plant and part palm tree. Its long petioles (leaf stems) and deep green leaves resemble those of the banana and extend out from the trunk like the slats of a giant hand fan.
