The "Nendran" or Malabar Plantain.

Abstract

                                The Nendran is a type of plantain chiefly grown on the West Coast of the Presidency and abundantly in Malabar. Although sporadic efforts have been made to grow this crop in other parts of the Province, it has not been successful outside Malabar and parts of South Kanara. Probably the partiality of this crop for the porous well drained laterite soil and the heavy rainfall of the Coast is responsible for its coming up well only in these tracts.
