Ravenala madagascariensis - Travellers tree

So I spent my Sunday evening in Central Park of Desa Park City, one of the finest township in Kuala Lumpur for a walk and had a viewful of beautiful landscape plants. 
The logo of Desa Park City. 


As shown in the logo, it is actually a Travellers tree. 

Why 'Travellers'? 
Because rainwater is stored in the bases of the leaf stalks, 
which the thirsty travellers can tap with a sharp knife. 

Grow in full sun, propagate by separation of plantlets.
