Heliconia close to the family Musaceae and Strelitzia. Most of flowering plants native to the tropical Americas and the Pacific Ocean islands west to Indonesia.
Heliconia was named by Carolus Linnaeus for Helicon, the mountain in the South of Greece, where by mythology was living the Apollon (god of the art) and the nine muses (daughters of Zeus and patronesses of an art and science). The muses was young and beautiful. And the name "Heliconia" hint at the beauty and long-lived of these flowers.
