Borassus flabellifer

Borassus flabellifer

Borassus flabellifer is a species of tree found from India to the Malay Peninsula.

It grows up to 30 meters tall.

The leaves are fan-shaped. The petioles are irregularly serrated.

The male flowers are less than 1 centimeter long and form hemispherical clusters hidden beneath scale-like bracts in catkin-like inflorescences.

In contrast, the female flowers are the size of a golf ball.

After pollination, these flowers develop into fleshy fruits.

The fruits are black to brown with sweet, fibrous flesh.
