Talk about a desperate cry for attention,a palm tree discovered in Madagascar literally flowers itself to death.At the end of its life cycle,a pyramid of hundreds of tiny white flowers spring from the top of the tree.The flowers drip with nectar,announcing the palm's swan song to swarms of birds and insects.Once pollinated,the tree sends all remaining nutrients to its flowers as they develop into fruit.Then it collapses and dies.According to the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens in London,which announced the discovery,the tree also has a remarkable life.It stands 50 feet tall and has fan-shaped leaves that,at 15 feet in diameter,ranking among the largest of any flowering plant.It's Madagascar's most massive palm and can even be spotted on Google Earth.What's more,DNA analysis shows it's not just a new species,but an entirely new genus.This discovery comes right in time fewer than a hundred of the palms still exist.Conservationists are now scrambling to find survivors and harvest seeds.Lucky for the tree,it puts on one can't miss performance.
因为渴望被关注,马达加斯加的一棵棕榈树几乎将自己开到了荼蘼.在它生命的最后一段时间,数不尽的小百花开满了树顶,使它看上去像一座金字塔一样.花朵充盈着花蜜,它们是这棵棕榈树献给鸟儿们和昆虫们的最后作品.一旦授粉成功,这棵树将会把自己剩余的所有养分供给花朵,让它们结成硕果.最终,它将倒下并枯萎.正如宣布这一发现的英国皇家植物园所说的那样,这棵树有的生命是无比辉煌的.这棵棕榈树有50英尺高,它的扇形叶片直径有15英尺,是所有会开花的植物中叶子最大的.这是马达加斯加最大的一科棕榈树,甚至是在谷歌地图上也能看到它.除此之外,DNA分析显示它不只是一个新物种,而是一种前所未有的植物种类.这个发现还算是比较及时的,因为至少大概有一百棵同一种类的棕榈树依然存活着.自然资源保护者们现在正忙着找到那些依然幸存着的树,并渴望摘到他们的果实.多亏了这棵树,我们才得以观赏到这一个不能错过的表演.
