Bijao (Heliconia hirsuta)
1
0
El bijao, isira o platanillo fosforito, Heliconia hirsuta es una especie de la familia Heliconiaceae. Difundida por la América tropical.
Los indígenas de la Amazonia preparan con sus rizomas una bebida fermentada, y usan las hojas para eliminar el olor a quemado que producen las hojas de coca cuando se tuestan demasiado. El uso más universal de la planta es como flor de corte, por el tamaño y esplendor de su inflorescencia, ideal para la floricultura tropical.
