Ravenala madagascariensis

 traveler’s tree or
 traveler’s palm

 – Strelitziaceae, 
a native to Madagascar and cultivated around the world. 
It’s so named (traveler’s tree) because it accumulates water in its leaf bases which has been used in emergencies for drinking. 
The fan of leaves also tends to grow roughly on an east-west line, 
providing a crude compass for travelers.
