Botanic Scientists Uncover a Unique Underground Fruit-Bearing Palm Tree in Borneo

Botanic scientists in Singapore have discovered a palm tree that blooms and bears fruit underground on the island of Borneo.

Although the people of Borneo knew of the existence of this unique palm tree, it was unknown to scientists. The islanders eat the fruit of the underground palm as a snack.

The researchers gave a scientific name to this phenomenon Rinanga subterranea. However, they have not yet learned how the plant’s flowers are pollinated, they report Noi.md with reference to involta.media.

Previously, scientists have already discovered orchids that bloom underground, but the underground fruit-bearing palm tree has been discovered for the first time.
