The biggest UNDIVIDED leaf reportedly is found on mature
specimens of Alocasia robusta (8 to 10 feet long). The
largest divided leaf belongs to a pinnate-leaved palm,
Raphia regalis (as much as 80 feet long).
Note that both these species are monocots. The largest
dicot leaf may be a species of Pentagonia (Rubiaceae) in
tropical America; leaves in this genus are undivided and,
in some species are as much as six feet long.

The raffia palm (Raphia farinifera) of the Mascarene Islands, Indian Ocean, and the Amazonian bamboo palm (Raphia taedigera), of South America and Africa, have the largest leaves of any plants, at a length of up to 20 m
(65 ft 7 in).
