Gebang palm, also known as Gebang tree, is a tall palm tree commonly found in Southeast Asia. It is well-known for its multiple uses, including food, fuel, and building materials. While the term "Gebang palm" is widely used, there are also several synonyms for the tree, such as Gebang kipas, Gebang mengkuang, and Gebang belanda. These names are usually based on the region where the tree is found or the part of the tree that is used. For example, Gebang kipas is named after its fan-shaped leaves, while Gebang belanda is named after the Dutch who introduced the tree to Indonesia.
