Madagascar banana
Ensete perrieri
The Madagascar banana is a species of banana exclusively found in western Madagascar. The Madagascar banana is critically endangered because of deforestation and climate change. However, some botanists believe that only the Madagascar banana can save the Cavendish banana from Panama disease, which wiped out the Gros Michel banana, a commercial crop.
