Like all Borassus species, B. flabellifer is dioecious with male and female flowers on separate plants. But very rarely male and female flowers in same trees have also been noticed [ 7 ] The male flowers are less than 1 centimetre (0.39 in) long and form semi-circular clusters, which are hidden beneath scale-like bracts within the catkin -like ...
All Borassus palms are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants; male flowers are less than 10 mm (0.39 in) long and in semicircular clusters, sandwiched between leathery bracts in pendulous catkins; female flowers are 30–50 mm (1.2–2.0 in) wide, globe-shaped and solitary, sitting directly on the surface of the ...
The typical form of Borassus aethiopum is a solitary palm to 25 metres (82 feet) in height and 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter at the base. In the river bottoms (floodplains) of many East African rivers (the Rufiji in Tanzania and the Tana in Kenya among others) a closely related form can be up to 7 ft (2.1 m) thick at breast height (4 ft or 1.2 m above ground) and having the same thickness in its ...
However, the drawing shows little resemblance to the latter. Historians suggest that many of the backdrops of the drawings were copied from drawing manuals.

Latan palms are large, single-stemmed fan palms with separate male and female plants ; when the leaves fall, they leave scars on the trunks. Male flowers are small, in clusters, and emerge from within leathery bracts on the catkin-like inflorescences. Female flowers are larger, solitary and not concealed within bracts.
