Coconut Tree ( පොල් ගස ) - Cocus nucifera

The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family) and the only species of the genusCocos.The term coconut can refer to the whole coconut palm or the seed, or the fruit, which, botanically, is a drupe, not a nut. The spelling cocoanut is an archaic form of the word. The term is derived from the 16th-century Portuguese and Spanish word coco meaning "head" or "skull", from the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features.
