Default "Walking Tree" of Costa Rica. Is it Makainki ?????

Has anyone looked in AGRICOLA? BRBR

After asking that, I looked myself. There is one article available on stilt
roots in tropical palms.
Further searching revealed that the best-known species of the tropical stilt
rooted palms are
A HREF="http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Iriartea/deltoidea.html" Iriartea
deltoidea/A.
and A HREF="http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Socratea/exorrhiza.html"PACSOA -
Socratea exorrhiza/A

There is no mention anywhere of any of these trees "walking", so the whole
thing may be a myth, like the deadliness of the Upas tree.
