description_en: Genus of one species of small, evergreen tree, occurring in open rainforest or deforested areas in Madagascar, grown for its foliage, spathes, and palm-like habit. The large, alternate, long-stalked, banana-like leaves have expanded leaf bases that accumulate water. Boat-shaped spathes, enclosing cymes of tiny, 3-petalled flowers, are produced from the leaf axils. Where temperatures fall below 16-18°C (61-64°F), grow in a warm greenhouse. In tropical regions, use as a distinctive specimen tree.
