A genus of palm trees, named after botanist Adolf Engler; native to Madagascar with distinctive feathery leaves.
From Engler (named after Adolf Engler) + phoenix (from Greek phoinix, the date palm). Scientific nomenclature combines the discoverer's name with the plant type.
Botanists get to name new species they discover—so 'Englerophoenix' means 'Engler's phoenix palm.' It's a Madagascar native that most people will never see, but it lives in botanical museums and science forever!
