අන්නාසි[Annasi]/Pineapple (Ananas comosus)

Pineapple is a native plant of eastern South America which was introduced to Sri Lnaka and cultivates in commercial cultivations and home gardens for its edible fruit. Escapes of the cultivations sometimes grow in dry rocky places with hardy fruits with darker syncarp and they are known as ‘Galannasi’.
