Field Notes

Description:

I was in the SAS rainforest when I saw a massive Oil Palm tree. Its about 3 stories tall, and has many spiked stems coming out of it. It has a lot of green leave but only at the top. The oil palm produces a flowers in compact cluster, and when fertilized turns into a fruit about the size of a plum.

Habitat:

In a rainforest, damp, and humid.Trees growing around it almost as tall as the Oil Palm. A massive black legged spider had made a very big web from one of the stems.
