This Australian tropical rainforest plant occurs in Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales. Its fruit sufficiently resembles a banana to give the plant one of its common names, the other being windmill bush. The plant is also native to China, Thailand and Papua New Guinea, inter alia. It grows to a height of six metres or more.
My book, one small place on earth, makes a unique and beautiful Christmas present from Tamborine Mountain - with over 300 images of its flora and fauna, $39.95 hard cover.
