Arecaceae, also known as palm trees, are a diverse family of plants that can be found in various parts of the world. From the Livistona humilis or sand palm in Australia to the Elaeis guineensis Jacq. African oil palm in Africa, these majestic trees have adapted to different climates and environments. In Mahon (Mao), Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, you can witness the beauty against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The Strelitzea sp. , commonly known as bird of paradise flower, adds a vibrant touch to this picturesque location. Even in urban settings like Kuwait City's landmark Kuwait towers in Kuwait City, Middle East, Arecaceae stands tall and proud. These towering palms provide shade and serenity amidst bustling city life. Traveling further west brings us to Liberia's beautiful beach in Neekreen near Buchanan. Here, Macrozamia communis or burrawang palms sway gently with the ocean breeze - a true tropical paradise. The Caribbean is no stranger to Arecaceae either. As dusk falls over St. Lawrence Gap at Christ Church in Barbados' West Indies region, these palms create an enchanting silhouette against a colorful sky. Hawaii's Kauai island boasts Tunnels Beach where palm trees line its shores creating an idyllic scene straight out of a postcard. Meanwhile Magens Bay beach on St Thomas Island offers visitors breathtaking views with its lush greenery and swaying coconut palms. Bacolet Beach on Tobago Island is another gem nestled within Trinidad and Tobago's West Indies region. Here you'll find Arecaceae dotting the coastline adding charm to this Caribbean getaway. Finally venturing into Europe takes us to Nice on France's Cote d'Azur or French Riviera where Arecaceae gracefully thrive under sunny skies along the Mediterranean coast.
