Main Phylogenetic Garden
We have planted the Conifers, Cycads, Palms, Heliconias, and
Rose sections of the Garden. The flowering plants are divided
into two main groups, the Monocots (Palms, Grasses, Lilies, Orchids,
etc.) and the Dicots. We have also planted Zingibers (Heliconias,
Costas, Bananas, etc.), and we have started planting the Monocots.
We have acquired some unusual trees, including the Cannonball
Tree (with seed pods the shape and size of cannonballs growing
from the main trunk), the Baobab Tree (native to Africa), the
Elephant Tree (a legume tree which develops an immense trunk
diameter), the Sausage Tree (its fruit looks like a 2 foot sausage.) |
