The
coconut is an important member of the
family Arecaceae (
palm family). It is the only accepted species in the
genus Cocos,
[2] and is a large palm, growing up to 30 m tall, with
pinnate leaves 4–6 m long, and pinnae 60–90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the
trunk smooth. The term
coconut can refer to the entire
coconut palm, the
seed, or the fruit, which is not a botanical nut. Coconuts received the name from
Portuguese explorers, the sailors of
Vasco da Gama in
India, who first brought them to
Europe.
Scientific Name: Cocos nucifera L.
