Borassus flabellifer

Borassus flabellifer is a species of tree found from India to the Malay Peninsula.
It grows to a height of 30 meters.
The leaves are fan-shaped. The leaf petioles are irregularly serrated.

The male flowers are less than 1 centimeter long and form hemispherical clusters that are hidden under scaly 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.
