Mangerioba Grande or Maria Mole, Senna reticulata, Caesalpinioideae, Fabaceae. A yellow flowered shrubby tree growing along the water margin between Cano Blanco and Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Senna reticulata, the mangerioba grande or maria mole in Portuguese, is a pioneer tree species found on highly fertile floodplains in South America. It has some medicinal uses, but is regarded by farmers as a noxious weed, named matapasto (meadow killer) due to its ability to grow fast and outshade neighbouring plants. It is used in the local folk medicine for liver problems and rheumatism. Wild Cane or Wildcane, Gynerium sagittatum, Gynerieae. Growing along the riverside en-route from Cano Blanco to Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Gynerium is a monotypic genus of Neotropical plants in the grass family, native to Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies. It is classified in its own tribe Gynerieae. The sole species in the genus is Gynerium sagittatum, a tall grass that grows up to six metres (twenty feet) high. It is a very vigorous species that grows into a considerably dense mass of vegetation. The species is known as "cana-do-rio", "cana-flecha", "cana-frecha", "ubá" and "cana-brava" in Brazil, "caña brava" in Peru and Colombia, "chuchío" in eastern Bolivia, and "tañil" in Guatemala and other Spanish speaking countries. It is known in English as "wildcane" or "wild cane", while "arrow cane" is less common.
