EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Travellers Palm of Malaysia: An Unusual and Sustainable Source of Water in the Tropics" 2.. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the iconic Travellers Palm (Ravenala madagascariensis) thriving in the lush landscapes of Malaysia. Known as the Travellers Palm due to the unique ability of its sheaths to hold rainwater, this tree has long been an essential source of emergency drinking water for travellers and locals alike. The intriguing shape of the Travellers Palm is characterized by its tall, slender trunk, which is surrounded by a rosette of fan-shaped leaves. Each leaf stem is sheathed in a protective covering, which collects rainwater and stores it for later use. This unusual feature not only makes the tree a striking sight but also provides a valuable resource in the often unpredictable tropical climate. Despite its name, there is no evidence to suggest that each tree faces towards Mecca. Instead, the tree's orientation is determined by the direction of the prevailing winds and sunlight. The Travellers Palm is native to Madagascar but has been widely introduced to other tropical regions, including Malaysia, due to its hardiness and adaptability. The photograph captures the essence of the Travellers Palm's resilience and resourcefulness, making it an enduring symbol of the natural world's ingenuity. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a time when the connection between humans and nature was more profound, and the importance of sustainable resources was more deeply appreciated.
