Preferred term

Phytelephas macrocarpa

This palm with its characteristic trunk that lies flat on the ground before bending upwards so that the fronds can capture light in the understory, has two main uses. The fronds are used for thatch and when the endosperm hardens it turns into vegetable ivory that can be harvested for the trade in vegetable ivory.
