These heliconias are normally a reddish-purple color, and do not closely resemble the variety seen in the game. It may also be Heliconia aurantiaca, though this species is more of an orange hue.Īccording to The Evolution of Claire, there were Heliconia collinsiana on Isla Nublar as of March 2004. Some close visual matches for the heliconia in the game are Heliconia clinophila and Heliconia talamancana, which are native to Costa Rica.
They flower during the wet season, and grow blue-purple fruits. The flowers are small and poke out of larger waxy bracts, which can be red, orange, or yellow the ones portrayed in the game are yellow. The ones depicted in Jurassic Park: The Game appear to be on the smaller end of the scale, though it is also possible that they were not fully grown. Heliconia can range in height from 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to 4.5 m (15 ft) depending on the species, with simple leaves ranging in size from six inches to ten feet. Most species are listed as either Vulnerable or Data Deficient by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Heliconia is variously known as the lobster-claw, the wild plantain, or the false bird-of-paradise it is usually just called the heliconia. Many of these species are found in the rainforests and tropical wet forests of these regions. Heliconia (from the Greek helik ṓnios) is a genus of about 194 species of flowering plants in the family Heliconiaceae which are native to the American tropics and Pacific islands westward to Indonesia.
