National Tree of Maldives - a photo on Flickriver

            The National Tree of the Republic of Maldives is the "Dhivehi Ruh" (Coconut Palm). All the islands throughout the Republic support a dense growth of the palm.

Dhivehi Ruh, botanically known as Cocos nucifera and belonging to the family Palmae (Arecaceae) has been widely known here for its economic importance, throughout history.

Dhivehi Ruh, which is also incorporated in the National Emblem of the Republic of Maldives was declared as the National Tree on 25th July 1985 (07th Dh'ul Q'aidhaa 1405 AH).
