==Description==
[[File:Ensete superbum Roxburgh.jpg|thumb|right|A page from William Roxburgh's Plants of the Coast of Coromandel, Vol. 3 with drawings of ''Ensete superbum'']]
Plants may grow up to 12 ft in height and the pseudostem may be up to half the height with a swollen base of up to 8 ft in circumference at the base. The leaves are bright green in colour on both sides with a deeply grooved and short petiole. The leaf sheaths are persistent at the base and leave closely set scars on the [[corm]]. The fruits are about 3 inches long and more or less triangular with dark brown seeds. The upper parts of the plant die out during the dry season leaving the corm, which forms new leaves at the beginning of the monsoon.<ref name=Constantine />
