Heliconia est un genre de plantes à fleur originaire de l'Amérique tropicale et de certaines îles du Pacifique.

Heliconia est le seul genre de la famille des Heliconiaceae qui compte entre 100 et 200 espèces, dont la plupart sont originaires de l'Amérique. De nombreuses espèces sont cultivées pour leurs inflorescences de couleurs vives et voyantes

Les Heliconia sont une importante ressource de nourriture pour certains oiseaux-mouches qui puisent grâce à leur long bec le nectar nécessaire à leur survie ; certains, comme l'Ermite hirsute, utilisent également la plante pour leur nid.

Étymologie

Le nom de genre Heliconia dérive du grec Ἑλικών / Helikṓn littéralement « la montagne tortueuse », en référence au mont Hélicon massif montagneux de Béotie, en Grèce, culminant à 1 748 mètres, nom qui a pour racine grecque ἕλιξ / hélix, « spirale, zigzag », en référence à la forme des inflorescences de cette plante^[1].
