Species of the genus Ravenala are not true palms (family Arecaceae) but members of the family Strelitziaceae. The genus is closely related to the southern African genus Strelitzia and the South American genus Phenakospermum. Some older classifications include these genera in the banana family (Musaceae).
Etymologyedit
The scientific name Ravenala comes from Malagasyravinala or ravina ala meaning "forest leaves".[1][2]
Speciesedit
Although formerly considered to be monotypic, four different forms have been distinguished.[3][4] Five new species were described in 2021, all from Madagascar.[5] The following species are currently recognised in the genus Ravenala:[6]
