Brazilian Atlantic Forest Wild Banana
I found this picture............this is about 40km from my house................
I live in São Paulo City...........Brazil..............and this picture is from the Atlantic Forest....................called Serra do Mar............... I don´t know the species..............but I made some search and I found that they may be Feral species..........but unidentified species.......... I´m not personally convinced that this is a Feral species................ Along the stream one can see that there are more Bananas at the Forest Borders..........

It is certainly Feral, bananas originated in the vicinity of Burma long before people were there. Sometime after 1526 edible bananas were brought to the Americas for cultivation.

Re: Brazilian Atlantic Forest Wild Banana
Looks like a seeded variety, although I've never grown them. Someone here will most likely recognize the flower color.
What settlements are either upstream from that area or in a 15-25 km radius from there?

Back to the topic of native vs. feral: if it is M. ornata then certainly it is feral. Here is the GRIN species record for the plant: Musa ornata information from NPGS/GRIN

Re: Brazilian Atlantic Forest Wild Banana
I found an Article about invasive plants of Brazil..............
There are two species of Musa listed........... One is Musa ornata............and the other is Musa rosacea........... I also found few pictures of Musa rosacea........from Salto Morato...........here in Brazil......... Source : https://conexaosul2010.wordpress.com...-salto-morato/ I was thinking that the first pictures identified as Musa ornata could be Musa rosacea.............??? The small Flag Leave is specially intresting............ Last edited by Yuri Barros : 04-11-2015 at 08:57 PM. |
