Banana plant
The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa
balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M.
balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name for
this hybrid, Musa sapientum, is no longer used.

The banana plant is a tree-like perennial herb. It is an herb because it does not
have woody tissues and the aerial parts of the parent plant die down to the
ground after the growing season. It is a perennial because one of the offshoots
growing at the base of the plant, the sucker, then takes over. The parent plant
and its suckers form what is commonly called a mat, or stool. The botanical term
is genet

The variability observed in morphological traits is used to characterize banana


plants[2]. Wild species of bananas share the same body plant as cultivated
bananas, except that they reproduce through both seeds and suckers.

Cactus
A cactus (plural cacti, cactuses, or less commonly, cactus)[3] is a member of the
plant family Cactaceae,[Note 1] a family comprising about 127 genera with some
1750 known species of the order Caryophyllales.

The word "cactus" derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek κάκτος,
kaktos, a name originally used by Theophrastus for a spiny plant whose identity
is not certain.

Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Most cacti live in habitats
subject to at least some drought. Many live in extremely dry environments, even
being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth.

Cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. Almost all cacti are succulents,
meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Unlike many other
succulents, the stem is the only part of most cacti where this vital process takes place.
Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly
modified leaves.

Aloe Vera plant
The botanical name of Aloe vera is Aloe barbadensis miller. It belongs to
Asphodelaceae (Liliaceae) family, and is a shrubby or arborescent,
perennial, xerophytic, succulent, pea- green color plant.

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species of the genus Aloe. An evergreen


perennial, it originates from the Arabian Peninsula, but grows wild in
tropical, semi-tropical, and arid climates around the world.[3] It is cultivated
for agricultural and medicinal uses.[3] The species is also used for
decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.

It is found in many consumer products including beverages, skin lotion,


cosmetics, or ointments for minor burns and sunburns. There is little
clinical evidence for the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera extract as a
cosmetic or medicine.

Yellow Bell
Tecoma stans is a species of flowering perennial shrub in
the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae, that is native to the
Americas. Common names include yellow trumpetbush,[2]
yellow bells,[2] yellow elder,[2] ginger-thomas. Tecoma
stans is the official flower of the United States Virgin
Islands and the floral emblem of The Bahamas.
Yellow trumpetbush is an attractive plant that is cultivated
as an ornamental. It has sharply toothed, pinnate green
leaves and bears large, showy, bright golden yellow
trumpet-shaped flowers. It is drought-tolerant and grows
well in warm climates. The flowers attract bees, butterflies,
and hummingbirds.[3] The plant produces pods containing
yellow seeds with papery wings. The plant is desirable
fodder when it grows in fields grazed by livestock. Yellow
trumpetbush is a ruderal species, readily colonizing
disturbed, rocky, sandy, and cleared land and occasionally
becoming an invasive weed.
