    Nakaii is a native American name.
    The meaning of the name Nakai is "He who comes from a fair place"

    Nakaii is what Maldivians call the months of the Calandar.
    Each nakaii is 13 or 14 days. It is divided into two seasons. Iruvai and Hulhangu monsoon.
    The said calendar remains the most trust worthy source for determining the best time for
    travel, shipping and planting crops even at the present.

    The IUCN reports that this species is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future, due to recent and ongoing exploitation within a range that is already severely fragmented, with total population size estimated at fewer than 2,500 mature plants and no subpopulation containing more than 250 mature plants.
