Banana plantsBanana plants growing on a plantation. Each herbaceous trunk bears only one bunch of fruit and is cut down after harvest to encourage new growth from the rhizome (underground stem)
The banana plant is a gigantic herb that springs from an underground stem, or rhizome, to form a false trunk 3–6 metres (10–20 feet) high. This trunk is composed of the basal portions of leaf sheaths and is crowned with a rosette of 10 to 20 oblong to elliptic leaves that sometimes attain a length of 3–3.5 metres (10–11.5 feet) and a breadth of 65 cm (26 inches). A large flower spike, carrying numerous yellowish flowers protected by large purple-red bracts, emerges at the top of the false trunk and bends downward to become bunches of 50 to 150 individual fruits, or fingers. The individual fruits, or bananas, are grouped in clusters, or hands, of 10 to 20. After a plant has fruited, it is cut down to the ground, because each trunk produces only one bunch of fruit. The dead trunk is replaced by others in the form of suckers, or shoots, which arise from the rhizome at roughly six-month intervals. The life of a single rhizome thus continues for many years, and the weaker suckers that it sends up through the soil are periodically pruned, while the stronger ones are allowed to grow into fruit-producing plants.

Colorful small fish hunting birds. Machranga is called kingfisher in English. Its scientific name is Alcinidae. Macharanga is a small to medium sized and brightly colored bird. They have a cosmopolitan relationship with most species in tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Oceania. The fish family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. All pisces have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and webbed tails. Fish usually live near rivers, streams, canals, ponds, etc. They hunt fish from underwater. Kingfishers average 10 centimeters (3.9 in) in length and weigh between 9 and 12 grams (0.32 and 0.42 oz).
The common macharanga is known as Pati macharanga. Their English name is Common Kingfisher. Their scientific name is Alcedo atthis. Common kingfisher is also known as Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher. It is a small fish with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. They inhabit most of its outlying areas, but migrate from areas where rivers freeze in winter. Sits quietly on the trees above the water; Often seen as a turquoise flash over water in very fast low flight. They have a length of about 1 cm (3 in) and a wingspan of 25 cm (9.8 in) and weigh 34–46 g.
Chitranga masranga is known as spotted or twisted masranga. Their English name is Pied kingfisher. Their scientific name is Ceryle rudis. They generally roam over water to hunt. They are a medium-sized fish, measuring about 25 cm (9.8 in) long and weighing 35–38 g. Their skin color is black and white. They have a white face with a black mask, a white supercilium and a black breast band. They are found in sub-Saharan Africa extending to western Asia, and similarly from Afghanistan to eastern, India, Thailand and Southeast Asia in the tribe Leucomelanura.
Giant and giant kingfishers are the largest kingfisher species in Africa. Their English name is Giant Kingfisher. Their scientific name is Megaceryle maxima. It is a breeding bird that inhabits much of the continent south of the Sahara desert, on the other hand, where it is in the arid southwest. They are about 42–46 cm (16.5–18 in) long and weigh 255–425 g. Like all piscivorous species, they can roam and hunt fish in open water.
