Eden Project Humid Tropics Biome
|
|
|
The Humid Tropics Biome at the Eden Project contains 5,500
plants and they are grouped first by area then later on by plant
type. Areas covered are Tropical Islands, West Africa and Tropical South America. Plant groups covered include Cola, Rubber, Palms, Coffee, Sugar, Mangoes, Bananas, Bamboo, Nuts, Pineapples, Spices Palms and several others. |
This page gives you pictures and descriptions of some of those plants and features. All the pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them.

On the left is an African "rondavel". African farms are

whilst looking after their cattle. On the right is a plaque explaining details of a typical West African farm. |

On the left is a picture of ginger growing. Common enough in
Britain but how many people have actually seen how it grows?
On the right is view of the inside of the biome. The height of the tree growing shows just how high the ceiling is. Only 5% of the available light reaches plants at the base. |

Sometimes it's best just to look at beautiful plants. These two displays of colour were in taken in early May, proving that there is always something worth seeing at the Eden Project. |
