  1. Banana tree.


  2. In addition to the largest seeds, palms also have the record for the largest leaves. The raffia palm (Raphia regalis) of tropical Africa has huge pinnate leaves up to 80 feet (24 m) long. The leaves of the Amazonian palm (Manicaria saccifera) are nearly 30 feet (8 m) long, and have been listed by some authors as the longest undivided leaf of any plant. However, according to Chuck Hubbuch of Fairchild Tropical Garden, Coral Gables, Florida, the leaf is typically divided shallowly at the tip and is not truly entire. The golf ball-sized fruits of Manicaria palms, called "sea coconuts," commonly wash ashore on beaches throughout the Caribbean and southern Florida. There are two additional candidates for the record of longest undivided leaf: Marojejya darianii, a palm native to Madagascar with a leaf up to 5 meters in length that is divided only once at the tip; and Johannesteijsmannia altifrons, a palm native to Thailand with a leaf up to 4 meters long that is completely undivided.
