Bush Banana is a woody climbing vine growing on other shrubs and trees. Its flowers are creamy in color, the thick narrow leaves grow on a short stock and the fruit is pear shaped. The fruits have good nutritional and medicinal value; the extract and paste of leaves are often used to treat pains and upset stomachs.
