Florana

Florana was a forest-covered planet in the Solana Galaxy. It was a swampy planet home to bugs, natives, and large beasts. Its primary inhabitants appeared to be vicious natives and the more friendly Cyclophic Monkeys. There were also a number of ogre-like folks who had established settlements on the planet, one member even appeared on a Solanan holo-show. Captain Qwark crashed here and lost his memory.

Florana was the first planet in which Ratchet endeavors to after protecting his home planet of Veldin. He went there because of a cinematic provided by The Galactic President, titled Nature's Mysteries that suggested that Captain Qwark dwelt on Florana.

Markings of a native writing system could be seen on the walls of the buildings in Florana.

Later into the game, Skrunch, Ratchet and Clank were having a conversation, and Skrunch told Ratchet he "had ears like a Florana dung beaver" meaning this was a species that Ratchet didn't encounter, but they did live there.

In Ratchet: Deadlocked,

In Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, Captain Qwark said The Deadgrove reminded him of Florana

Trivia

 * There is sort of a plot hole with Florana, because in Nature's Mysteries, it says "deep in the Jamboo Forest" but on the map, it says Nabla Forest. The Jamboo Forest may be another forest in the vast planet of Florana, or the Jamboo Forest may have been the previous name of the forest, or "jamboo" is maybe simply the name of the tree's specie that form the forest.
 * On Annihilation Nation, the announcer would sometimes be heard saying, "Hey be sure to catch him next week in the Florana demolition derby!" He could have been talking about the Florana Turbo Slider race circuit, which was cut from the game, and was included in the Insomniac Museum.
 * Florana is a jungle planet full of trees like Eudora
 * Florana has only 2 contients perhaps one was the jamboo forest and the other nabla forest

Etymology
