Description: Original illustration of a Tacca chantrieri, commonly known as the Bat Flower. The common name comes from the fact that is it looks like a bat’s face or a bat in flight. Coloring varies from maroon to brown to black, but there is also a white species. The flowers have long whiskers trailing downward from the center. The triangular parts in the center will open into smaller flowers, which make the plant look rather creepy to me. I read these are popular garden flowers, but there is very little information about them. They may or may not be orchids. -- But they are pretty cool.
