Ravenala madagascariensis "TRAVELER'S PALM" 5 seeds

Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as Traveler's Palm or Travellers Palm, is a species of banana-like plant from Madagascar.
It is not a true palm (family Arecaceae) but a member of the bird-of-paradise family, Strelitziaceae.
It is called the travellers palm because the stems hold rainwater that can be used as an emergency drinking supply.
The enormous paddle-shaped leaves are borne on long petioles in a distinctive fan shape aligned in a single plane. Unlike its close relative the Bird-of-paradise, the flowers are small and inconspicuous.
The plant is widely cultivated for its distinctive foliage in tropical and subtropical regions. It is less than delicious to eat
