Trivial pursuit … the plant version!

Wrong Answer

The winner is the Raphia palm, a palm tree from West Africa. A specimen discovered in the Congo possesses leaves over 25 m long: that's the equivalent of a building six stories tall! Since the stem of the Raphia palm is short and stocky, its leaves almost seem to grow out of the ground.

Next question
Raphia regalis
