Banana
Musa × paradisiaca
Musa × paradisiaca is the cultivated banana and plantain, a hybrid of Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. It is a giant herbaceous plant with a trunk-like pseudostem of leaf sheaths reaching 3-7 m, huge paddle leaves, a pendent purple flower bract, and hands of seedless edible fruit.
Wild Banana
Musa acuminata
Musa acuminata is the wild ancestor of most edible banana cultivars. Native to Southeast Asia, it is a fast-growing, herbaceous perennial that can reach 3–5 m tall. Its large paddle-shaped leaves and arching flower stalks make it a dramatic tropical statement plant. Unlike commercial bananas, wild specimens produce fruits filled with hard seeds.
Wild Banana
Musa balbisiana
Musa balbisiana is a large, fast-growing herbaceous perennial native to eastern South Asia, northern Southeast Asia, and southern China. Reaching up to 5.5 m tall with broad, paddle-shaped leaves, it produces cream-to-white flowers wrapped in reddish-purple bracts, followed by thick-skinned, seed-filled fruit. Along with Musa acuminata, it is one of the two wild ancestors of nearly all cultivated bananas, contributing the resilient 'B genome' that gives many banana hybrids their hardiness.
Scarlet Banana
Musa coccinea
The Scarlet Banana (Musa coccinea) is a striking tropical plant native to Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam and southern China. Unlike fruiting bananas, it is grown primarily as an ornamental for its dramatic upright inflorescences featuring vivid scarlet bracts surrounding small yellow flowers. A fast-growing clumping plant, it produces offshoots (pups) readily and creates lush tropical displays in gardens, containers, or as indoor specimens in bright spaces.
Flowering Banana
Musa ornata
Musa ornata, commonly known as the Flowering Banana or Ornamental Banana, is a small tropical banana plant native to South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Myanmar). It is prized not for its fruit but for its stunning inflorescence of pink to lavender bracts with yellow-orange tubular flowers. Unlike edible banana varieties, its small fruits are inedible, but the plant makes a spectacular ornamental specimen in tropical gardens and large containers.
Banana Plant
Musa sp
The Banana Plant (Musa sp) is a tropical herbaceous perennial native to Southeast Asia, widely cultivated both for its edible fruit and ornamental value. Its enormous paddle-shaped leaves can reach up to 2 meters long, creating a lush tropical display. Technically not a tree — the pseudostem is formed by overlapping leaf sheaths. The plant grows rapidly and produces yellow or colorful flowers followed by fruit clusters.
Ashanti Blood
Mussaenda erythrophylla
Mussaenda erythrophylla, commonly known as Ashanti Blood or Red Flag Bush, is a tropical shrub native to West Africa. It is celebrated for its striking deep red modified leaves (bracts) that surround tiny yellow flowers, creating a dramatic and exotic appearance. This fast-growing ornamental shrub thrives in humid, tropical conditions and is a popular choice for tropical garden borders, hedges, and specimen planting.
Garlic Parachute
Mycetinis
Fungi belonging to the genus Mycetinis are known for their characteristic odor reminiscent of garlic. These small mushrooms often live on decaying wood or leaf litter in forests. Their caps are thin, and their stems are tough and dark-colored. The most well-known species is the Garlic Marasmius, which is a valuable culinary mushroom used as a spice.
Brazilian Grapetree
Myrciaria jaboticaba
The Brazilian Grapetree (Myrciaria jaboticaba) is a fruit-bearing tree native to Brazil's Atlantic Forest and Cerrado, renowned for producing its dark purple fruits directly on the trunk and main branches — a phenomenon known as cauliflory. It is one of the most cultivated jaboticaba varieties in Brazil, prized for its sweet, thin-skinned fruits with juicy white pulp.
German tamarisk
Myricaria germanica
The German tamarisk (Myricaria germanica) is the only species of the Tamaricaceae family native to Central Europe. It is a deciduous shrub growing 60–250 cm tall, featuring rod-like, upright branches and tiny, scale-like leaves. It blooms between June and August, producing small flowers ranging from pale pink to white in dense racemes. A typical pioneer species, it colonizes gravelly and sandy banks of mountain and subalpine rivers, where periodic flooding and drought are common. In Hungary, it is a strictly protected and endangered species, now occurring only in a few, mostly secondary (man-made) habitats.
Cow Horn Orchid
Myrmecophila tibicinis
Myrmecophila tibicinis is a large epiphytic orchid native to seasonally dry tropical forests from Mexico through northern South America. Its hollow, cylindrical pseudobulbs — up to 45 cm tall — are colonized by ants in the wild in a mutualistic relationship that provides extra nutrients to the plant. Flowers are spectacular: magenta sepals and petals with bronze-orange tips, a large white lip with intense magenta veining, and a bright yellow central callus. The flower spike can exceed 1.5 m and bear up to 15 blooms.
Watercress
Nasturtium officinale
Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is a perennial aquatic vegetable from the Brassicaceae family, native to Europe and Central Asia, where it grows spontaneously along the banks of clean, flowing streams and springs. Its hollow, floating stems easily root at the nodes in contact with waterlogged soil, forming dense clumps of dark green, rounded leaves with a pungent and slightly bitter taste. It is one of the oldest leafy vegetables cultivated by humans: it was already recommended by Hippocrates as an expectorant in Ancient Greece, and Greek soldiers consumed the plant believing it strengthened the body and mind. Today it is recognized as one of the most nutritious vegetables in the world, rich in vitamins A, C, and B complex, as well as iron, folic acid, and calcium.
Goldfish Plant
Nematanthus wettsteinii
The Goldfish Plant (Nematanthus wettsteinii) is a trailing epiphytic plant native to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, where it naturally grows on tree trunks. It is prized for its small, glossy, fleshy leaves and its plump, tubular orange flowers that resemble tiny goldfish with their mouths open. It is ideal for hanging baskets, where its cascading stems can be shown off.

Like most Nepenthes hybrids, it displays strong hybrid vigor, making it a hardier and more forgiving grower than many pure species.
Winged Pitcher Plant
Nepenthes alata
Nepenthes alata, commonly known as the winged pitcher plant, is a tropical carnivorous vine native to the Philippines, where it grows across a wide altitudinal range from lowland forests to mountain slopes. Its distinctive winged leaf petioles give the species its name, and its curling tendrils produce colorful pitcher-shaped traps that lure, capture, and digest insects to supplement the nutrient-poor soils it grows in. Prized by houseplant collectors for its striking pitchers and relatively forgiving nature compared to other Nepenthes, it is often recommended as a beginner-friendly carnivorous plant.
Tropical Pitcher Plant
Nepenthes spp
Nepenthes, commonly known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, are fascinating carnivorous plants native to Southeast Asia, particularly Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines. They produce iconic pitcher-shaped traps filled with digestive fluid that capture and dissolve insects and small animals to obtain nutrients from their nutrient-poor, acidic native soils.
Ventricosa Pitcher Plant
Nepenthes ventricosa
Nepenthes ventricosa is a tropical pitcher plant native to the mountain forests of Luzon in the Philippines, where it grows as a climbing vine on rocky slopes and forest edges. It produces distinctive funnel-shaped pitchers with a shield-like, upturned lid used to lure and trap insects, which the plant digests to supplement the scarce nutrients of its native volcanic soil. It is one of the most beginner-friendly carnivorous plants thanks to its tolerance of a wide range of humidity levels.
