Plant Life. There are many different plants in the rain forest. Some of the plants include vines, bromeliads, the passion fruit plant and the Victorian water lily. Vines in the rainforest can be as thick as the average human average human body and some can grow to be 3,000 ft long.he bangle bamboo is another plant of the rainforest. This plant can grow 40 to 80 feet tall and three inches in diameter. It has dark green stalky columns for stems and narrow green leaves. The bangle bamboo is a type of grass, the largest and fastest growing grass.
Outside the rain forests the plant life is quite different. In some of the drier parts of the country it may seem that the only plants are palm trees, shrubs or thorny cacti. Letâs hope that the rain forests do not soon look the same. Brazil has 382 threatened plant species, of which 46 are critically Â­endangered.
