Why we specify it.
Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the wild banana or giant white bird of paradise, is a species of banana-like plants with erect woody stems reaching a height of 7–8 m (23–26 ft), and the clumps formed can spread as far as 3.5 m (11 ft). Strelitzia nicolai is among the few plants which have been verified to contain the pigment bilirubin, which is usually found in animals.
