    Hyphaene is a genus of palms native to Africa, Madagascar, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.[2][3][4]

    The genus includes the Doum palm (H. thebaica). They are unusual among palms in having regular naturally branched trunks; most other palms are single-stemmed from the ground. In Swahili, it is called "koma".
