Tropical American Collection, Taman Botani Putrajaya


Tropical America is the richest land of horticultural resources. You may be fascinated to visit this garden to learn that those familiar plants you see often in Malaysia are originated from South America, such as Allamanda, Turnera, Flangipani, Tower Tree, Beucarnea, Century Plant, Pineapple, Lantana and so on. To show our respects to the great landscape architect of Brazil; Roberto Burle Marx, we applied his typical mosaic method in floral arrangement, enhancing South American land form with "Andes" mounds. However, the maintenance work by the garden administration has not been carried out to what the designers wish.
