Arenga
Definition
A taxonomic genus of palms in the family Arecaceae, native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, India, and Northern Australia, comprising arborescent or shrubby species of major economic importance. In a structural-botanical sense, the genus Arenga is characterized by large pinnate leaves, massive solitary inflorescences, and a monocarpic life cycle, with the plants dying after their spherical or ellipsoidal fruits reach full maturity; the sap extracted from the trunks is traditionally used to produce palm sugar and fermented beverages.
