A "Monkey Tail" is a nautical term for a handspike used to aim and level a cannon, this term dates to 1822. My take on the Monkey tail is because many monkeys have a long tail.
Probably the same reason that most call the "Monkey tail plant"
Also heard this plant called a violin head so take your pick!Last edited by Martin103; 06-10-2013 at 02:20 AM.
