    I've been looking on-line for half an hour trying to find a way to identify plants, and I can't. Isn't there some sort of on-line plant guide? I'm trying to find the name of a plant species that I saw in Madagascar. I don't think it was native to the country. It was growing everywhere on the eastern part, where I was on the hillsides where rainforests have been removed. They kind of looked like flat palm trees, but the leaves were really broad, kind of like a banana leaf. I can't find a picutre anywhere. Please help.
