Its flora and fauna receives species from the Tibetan plateau, from mainland China, and from South East Asia's tropical rainforests. No wonder that new species are discovered every time specialized taxonomists are visiting remote areas where nature is in harmony with peoples' daily life. Many endemic species are described from Yunnan. Among them are bananas, gingers, aroids, rhododendron, and many more. Musa rubinea is endemic to South West Yunnan and Myanmar. Musella lasiocarpa, the Golden Lotus Banana, is endemic to Yunnan.
