Makuti is thatching made from the sun-dried leaves of the coconut palm Cocos nucifera. They are engaged in growing coconut palms ("Cocos nucifera"). They also include fossil fruits that have been tentatively identified as modern "Cocos nucifera". The larvae feed on "Sabal palmetto", "Sabal causiarum" and "Cocos nucifera". Coconut ("Cocos nucifera") is abundantly produced in Noakhali. The vegetation consists of Tournefortia argentea and Cocos nucifera. Coconut palms ("Cocos nucifera)," grow on the gradual slopes. Cocos nucifera was probably aided in many cases by seafaring people. It has also been recorded on "Cocos nucifera" and other palm species. Larvae feed on a variety of palms (Arecaceae) especially "Cocos nucifera" (coconut), and "Calamus" (rattan). Rigby (1995) assigned them to modern "Cocos nucifera" based on its size. What little woodland exists is mainly open coconut palm ("Cocos nucifera") plantation. Closed forest stands are dominated by either "Cocos nucifera" or "Pisonia grandis". The Islands are named after the coconut, "cocos nucifera". The coconut palm ("Cocos nucifera") yields coconut palm sugar from the sap of its flowers.
