旅人蕉
Traveler's Tree

(Ravenala Madagascariensis)

薑目 Zingiberales / 鶴望蘭科 Strelitziaceae / 旅人蕉屬 RavenalaAdans

又稱旅人木,原產於馬達加斯加,樹姿非常特別,葉片排列像一把扇,葉鞘基部及花苞片可儲存大量的液體,樹液甘甜可食,早期旅人在旅途中可取樹液供緊急飲用水,故稱之為旅人蕉。

Traveler's Tree, also known as Traveler's Palm is native to Madagascar. This tree has unique long-stemmed leaves arranged in the shape of a large fan. The sheaths and bracts hold large quantities of sweet, drinkable liquid, which was used as an emergency drinking supply by the travelers. This was one of the reasons that this plant was named the Traveler's Tree.
