bush. Leaves are circular in outline, with narrow
lobes with squared-off ends. Flowers are borne in stalks arising from
among the leaf bases. Fruit is bright red, the size of a marble (about 0.5
inch in diameter). Seed is small and round. Mangrove Fan Palm is native to
Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Andaman and Nicobar.
