Résumé
In 1996, a paper was published discussing the identity of a palm in the genus Borassus, occurring only in West Africa. It was identified as B. flabellifer, the Asian palmyrah palm, previously unknown in Africa. This paper recounts the story of an expedition to find and document these palms, resulting in the description of Borassus akeassii, Africa's newest palm species.
