''Phenakospermum'' is a monotypic genus in the family Strelitziaceae. Only one species is recognized, ''Phenakospermum guyannense'', native to Surinam, French Guyane and the eastern Amazon River basin. This plant grows to over 10 m in height but can be felled with a single blow with a machete. Although not as prized as the ornamental Traveler's palm (in the same family), ''P. guyannense'' is used locally in Brazil as a landscape element. The broad leaves are used to wrap fish in Benevides, Brazil, especially when ''Calathea'' leaves (Marantaceae) are not available. Previously, this genus was included in the now exclusively Old World genus ''Ravenala''. == References == * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phenakospermum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
