Description

Strelitzia is a genus of four species found in South Africa. The name Strelitzia honours Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the wife of King George III of the United Kingdom.

 

The leaves are 30-200 cm long and 10-80 cm wide, and resemble a banana leaf, but with a longer petiole. They are arranged in two rows and form a fan-like crown of evergreen foliage.

The flowers form a horizontal inflorescence and sprout from a sturdy bract.
