Hyphaene thebaica, tree (also known as doum palm and gingerbread tree).
Hyphaene is a genus of eight species of palms which includes the Doum palm (H. thebaica).
This palmyra tree (scientific name: Hyphaene thebaica) is believed to have its origin from a foreign country.
The washed soil sprouts grasses in the brief rainy season, some small Dun palms (Hyphaene thebaica), Acacia and Calotropis procera, while the sandy bottom land to the west of the town can be thick with palms and is suitable for irrigated agriculture.
