Wikipedia
traveler's tree
Ravenala is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants. Classically, the genus was considered to include a single species, Ravenala madagascariensis, commonly known as the traveller's tree, traveller's palm or East-West palm, from Madagascar. It is not a true palm (family Arecaceae) but a member of the family Strelitziaceae. The genus is closely related to the southern African genus Strelitzia and the South American genus Phenakospermum. Some older classifications include these genera in the banana family (Musaceae). Although it is usually considered to be a single species, four different forms have been distinguished. Five other species were described in 2021, all from Madagascar: Ravenala agatheae Haev. & Razanats., R. blancii Haev., V.Jeannoda & A.Hladik, R. grandis Haev., Razanats, A.Hladik & P.Blanc, R. hladikorum Haev., Razanats., V. Jeannoda & P.Blanc, R. madagascariensis Sonn., et R. menahirana Haev. & Razanats.

traveler's tree
The traveler's tree, or Ravenala madagascariensis, is a large tropical plant native to Madagascar that is part of the Strelitziaceae family. It's not technically a tree but a plant which can grow up to 30 feet tall. It is named so because it stores rainwater in the bases of its leaves which can be used as an emergency water source for travelers. The plant's large fan-like leaves are also arranged in a north-south line, providing a crude compass for travelers.
