The flora of the tropics and subtropics is represented by a wide variety of species and plant structures, including giant trees, woody lianas, shrubs, palms, treelike ferns, bamboos and rich herbal undergrowth. Epiphytic bromeliads, orchids and ferns represent a biologically and morphologically unique group of ‘plants without soil’, which grow on a self-supporting epiphytic stem. The tough living conditions in the subtropical desert and semi-desert regions are the inspiration for a standalone exhibition of xerophytes, including displays of cacti and succulents, which constitute about a quarter of all species represented (70 taxons).
