Latania commersonii.

Botanical name: 

Latania commersonii J. P. Gmel. Palmae.

Bourbon Island. The fruit is eaten by the negroes, says Seemann, but that argues little for their taste, as it has a rather disagreeable flavor.


Sturtevant's Edible Plants of the World, 1919, was edited by U. P. Hedrick.
