Corypha or the gebang palm, buri palm or talipot palm is a genus of palms (family Arecaceae), native to India, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Guinea and northeastern Australia (Cape York Peninsula, Queensland). They are fan palms (subfamily Coryphoideae), and the leaves have a long petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous ...
Corypha umbraculifera, the talipot palm, is a species of palm native to eastern and southern India and Sri Lanka. It is also grown in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Mauritius and the Andaman Islands. [3] It is one of the five accepted species in the genus Corypha. [4] It is a flowering plant with the largest inflorescence in the world. It lives ...
The Coryphoideae is one of five subfamilies in the palm family, Arecaceae. [2] [3] [4] It contains all of the genera with palmate leaves, excepting Mauritia, Mauritiella and Lepidocaryum, all of subfamily Calamoideae, tribe Lepidocaryeae, subtribe Mauritiinae.
Locally known as buri or buli in the Philippines, the leaves of Corypha utan are widely used in weaving fans, baskets, and mats. [8] [9] Additionally, in Isla Verde, Batangas where this palm tree grows abundantly, Corypha utan sap is extracted, cooked and made into the sweet delicacy called "Pakaskas". [10] [11]
Corypheae is a tribe of palm trees [1] [2] in the subfamily Coryphoideae. [3] In previous classifications, tribe Corypheae included four subtribes: Coryphinae, Livistoninae, Thrinacinae and Sabalinae, [4] but recent phylogenetic studies have led to the genera within these subtribes being transferred into other tribes (Chuniophoeniceae, Trachycarpeae, Cryosophileae and Sabaleae).
Cryosophileae is a tribe of palms in the subfamily Coryphoideae. [1] [2] The tribe ranges from southern South America, through Central America, into Mexico and the Caribbean.It includes New World genera formerly included in the tribe Thrinacinae, which was split after molecular phylogenetic studies showed that Old World and New World members of the tribe were not closely related.
Sabal minor, commonly known as the dwarf palmetto, [4] is a small species of palm. It is native to the deep southeastern and south-central United States and northeastern Mexico . It is naturally found in a diversity of habitats, including maritime forests, swamps, floodplains, and occasionally on drier sites. [ 5 ]
Outwardly, the palms in the four genera of Chuniophoeniceae appear quite different. Chuniophoenix are small palms from the forest understory with clustered stems; Kerriodoxa is a squat, single-stemmed rainforest palm; Nannorrhops is a sprawling desert palm with branching stems; and Tahina is a massive solitary palm from exposed limestone outcrops.
