Africa's bizarre "suicide tree" - life ends when it blooms

Botanists announced on the 17th that a new species of palm tree has been discovered in Madagascar, an African island country. The leaves of this palm tree can reach 5 meters, making it the flowering plant with the largest leaves discovered so far. More amazingly, for this kind of palm tree, the blooming of flowers is the end of their lives. They leave all the nutrients on the fruits for insects and birds to enjoy.
