The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant and fruit, native to Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Paraguay. The plant is a bromeliad (family Bromeliaceae), a short, herbaceous perennial with 30 or more trough-shaped and pointed leaves 30–100 cm long, surrounding a thick stem. The leaves of the Smooth Cayenne cultivar mostly lack spines except at the leaf tip, but the Spanish and Queen cultivars have large spines along the leaf margins.
The name
Anasus comes from anana, from the Tupi word for the fruit, anana, meaning "excellent fruit" (this word became the source of the word ananas, which is the word for pineapple in many languages). Comosus means tufted and refers to the stem of the fruit.
Pollinator
The natural pollinator of the pineapple is the Hummingbird. More on [ Pineapple ]
