Strelitzia caudata, commonly known as the mountain strelitzia or wild banana, is a species of banana-like Strelitzia from Africa from the Chimanimani Mountains of Zimbabwe south to Mozambique, the Northern Provinces of South Africa and Eswatini (Swaziland).[1] It was first described in 1946 by Robert Allen Dyer in Flowering Plants of Africa , Volume 25, Plate 997. The specific epithet caudata means chopped, this refers to an appendage of a sepal, which occurs only in this species.[2][3] It is one of three large banana-like Strelitzia species, all of which are native to southern Africa,[4] the other two being S. alba and S. nicolai.
