This plant is called the Traveler's
tree, probably on account of the water which is stored up in the
large cup-like sheaths of the leaf-stalks, and which is sought for
by travelers to allay their thirst. The broad leaves are used in
Madagascar as thatch to cover their houses. The seeds are edible,
and the blue, pulpy aril surrounding them yields an essential oil.
