Ravenala madagascariensis
Panama
Prevalent in our Panama trip. This one is located on the beach of Bocas del Drago on Isla Colon, Panama.
Interesting Scott. It was a beautiful sight standing all alone like this. The others I saw were hidden in the jungle amongst many other plants.
Pachypodium lamerei is marketed as the "Madagascar Palm" but both that species and yours (Ravenala madagascariensis) are not true palms.
