Beccariophoenix madagascariensis
Also called Giant Windowpane Palm
In Singapore: Manorano Palm, Maruala, Monarana (Grown in Singapore)
Beccariophoenix madagascariensis is a tall, slow-growing palm from the eastern rainforests of Madagascar, a close relative of the coconut and a vulnerable species in the wild. It is grown mainly in warm, humid conditions and needs room for its large size, so it is rarely grown as a true houseplant.
Beccariophoenix madagascariensis, commonly known as the coastal beccariophoenix, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is a large Coconut relative that is vulnerable in its habitat in Madagascar.
Beccariophoenix madagascariensis is native to Madagascar's eastern rainforests, between Tolagnaro and Mantadia.
