The macaranga was not named after a latin dance craze, it is however, a rainforest primary species, which thrives on the edge of any forest or in pockets of light. It drops lots of debris, leaves, flowers and seeds, and has a relatively short lifespan, allowing stronger plants to grow up in it's shadow, feeding on the mulch it creates.
