The Rufia palm is native to Madagascar and can also be found in swamp forests and along riverbanks along the east coast of Africa. Its high-quality fiber can be used to weave cushions, baskets, shoes, hats, and more. The starch-rich pith of the pre-flowering stems is used for sago, while the sugary juice of the inflorescences is used to make beverages and wine. The fruit is a high-quality craft, and the polished seeds are milky white with white and black spots, commonly known as the Thousand-Eyed Bodhi. The Rufia palm is a versatile plant, a treasure trove in itself.
The Rophya palm tree is tall and strong, and has the same fate as the "Palma Brown" mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. It usually takes 60 years for it to bloom and bear fruit. After completing its task of reproducing, it dies, which is very tragic and sad.
The fruit has a unique appearance, is shiny and hard, and can be played with, collected, or used as an alternative decoration.
