The power of plants

With its slender shape and large, hanging leaves, the banana resembles a tree, yet it is a giant grass whose only perennial part is an underground stem, or rhizome. Native to Southeast Asia, the banana is now found in tropical regions worldwide. There are several varieties of bananas grown for their fruit, which is eaten green or ripe. In traditional medicine, green banana is used externally for their healing properties.
