Corypha taliera

Corypha taliera is a species of palm, originally native to Myanmar (Burma) and the Bengal region of India and Bangladesh.

A solitary, massive, moderately slow growing, monoecious palm with a hapaxanthic or monocarpic mode of growth where the plant dies after setting seed.

The leaves are circular costapalmate and carried on 3 m (9.8 ft) long stout petioles armed with black teeth.

[3] The plant was discovered in the 1950s growing in the scrub jungle and was identified as a member of the genus Corypha by university professor M. Salar Khan.

It was then identified as a tali palm tree by Indian scientist Shamal Kumar Basu, when he was on a visit to Dhaka in 2001.
