Corypha umbraculifera
Tall tree with plume-like flowers that hold the world record for largest inflorescence.
Spotted as we drove along a national highway in Sri Lanka eroute Habanara.
The largest inflorescence in the world consists of one to several million small flowers borne on a branched stalk that forms at the top of the trunk.
I hope your research work gave you successful results...are you doing your PhD? Good luck. I was in Sri Lanka (south parts) in January and simply LOVED it. The flora, fauna and food are wonderful and the people I met...so warm. Thank you. I have not had the privilege of meeting Dan Doucette but I do know him on PN. If you have some spare time can you please run through my Sri Lanka spottings and help me out?
It is a pleasure Sukanya!! I couldn't come to the PN because of my research works. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet you. Last month I met Dan doucette. You may know him. He also visited to Sri Lanka. Hope that you enjoyed a lot at Sri Lanka....
