tropical flora
Rainforest plant life
Tropical flora refers to the plant life native to tropical regions—the warm, humid zones near the equator.
The term encompasses everything from rainforest canopy trees to orchids, palms, and ferns.
The botanical garden's tropical flora section features plants from Southeast Asia and the Amazon.
Flora always means plants collectively, never a single specimen.
