Cocos nucifera L., scraping blue sky on Borneo.

the sole species on genus Cocos, which means "ugly face".
It derived the names from 3 point on the fruit, resembling the monkey face.

Lowland & coastal natural distribution of this species is a great enigma on plant taxonomy.
Did it wild, or descendand of long-human domestication intervention?

any comment?
