Conteúdo: 	Flowers and ornamental plants have been consolidated as important economic activities in the Brazilian economy. The flower market constantly demands novelties and new varieties and, in the last years, the market for tropical flowers has been growing mainly due to the exotic beauty of these species. In this context, ornamental fruit crops emerge as a very interesting alternative with very differentiated and original products. Embrapa Cassava and Tropical Fruits has germplasm collections of tropical fruits belong to the genera Ananas, Citrus, Musa, Malphigia and Passiflora, each one with a large number of accessions which have been used primarily in the improvement program to the generation of new cultivars for food. Aiming to diversify and expand the use of these collections, the accessions with ornamental potential have been identified and characterized. Morphological descriptors were used to identify interesting genotypes with ornamental potential. During the work some modifications were carried out in order to adjust these descriptors to ornamental purposes. In pineapple the plant height, canopy diameter, fruit color and size, length and shape of the peduncle as well as the presence of spines in the leaves were considered as the most important traits to observe. In banana, the plant height, leaf color and variegation, fruit size, number and size of fingers and the male inflorescence were considered. For citrus and acerola (Malphigia), canopy density and shape, the plant growth habit and the presence of variegation in the leaves were taken into account. After characterization the accessions of all species were separated into the following categories according to their use: potted plants, cut flower, landscape plants, indoor plants and ornamental minifruits. At last, some accessions were selected to use as parents in ornamental breeding programs and some successful crossings were performed in banana and pineapple.
