genusgenusElegant palm trees native to Madagascar, characterized by their slender trunks and graceful, feather-like fronds that create a symmetrical crown. These palms display remarkable adaptability, growing in various habitats from rainforests to mountainous regions.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of John Raven, a 19th-century English botanist and plant collector who contributed significantly to the study of Madagascar's flora.
