Rev. Ellis in an interesting book on Madagascar speaks of this remarkable tree as follows: , “The extent to which it pre- vails may be. inferred from the native name Ravenalia by which it is designated by Sonnovat, its. discoverer. Ravenalia is literally ‘leaf of the forest,’ as if it were the leaf by which the forest is characterized, which is the fact where it abounds, though in many parts it is not met with at all.
