Here is a palm tree, common name fisthtail palm, with multiple seed clusters looking like Afro Hair styles! The tree is quite irritating to touch, and some kids may end in the hospital with burning sensation if the seeds clusters are touched.
The Philippine variety is caryota cumingii. Here is a caryota palm in SM North.
More photos to be added.
Here is one tall specimen from Philcoa, so tall that I photographed only its head.
