Green hills alternate with tiny cliffs

One of those green hills

Green hills use to alternate with tiny cliffs. They are both packed with tropical plants such as Ravinala, banana trees, other species whose name I don't the know. In addition, those tiny cliffs house rivulets that are fed by rains in East coast.

This picture was taken at late afternoon, when light was already shadowy. I had cleared it to show you what those green hills look like.
Ravinala, traveller's tree

Ravinala trees waving goodbye!

Where else in the world would you see a traveller's tree?

Ravinala trees are related to banana trees, taller however. Its nickname derives from the possibility to have fresh water from its trunk. It is the emblem of Malagasy air company, Air Madagascar or Air mad.
Bamboo

Coastal area is home of this kind of scenery. Wet areas, or pounds with lush flora around.
Coconut tree, conifer and other beach trees

Coconut tree, off course!

Flora in swamps
