raphia
Raphia is a genus of about twenty species of plants in the family Arecaceae, native to tropical regions of Africa and especially Madagascar. They are commonly known as raffia palms, and they have large pinnate leaves. The plant's fibers are often used in textiles, basketry, and various other crafting applications, including the creation of string or rope. The sap from the plant produces palm wine.
