[Aroid-l] OT: id this non-aroid plant?

From: samarak at gizmoworks.com (Steve Marak) on 2008.02.22 at 21:15:17(17079) Aroiders, Please excuse this non-aroid topic. I was asked if I knew what the plant in the attached image is. I don't, and the leaves make me think of one family, the flowers another, and the bracts a couple of others. But I know many people on this list have very wide botanical interests, and I'd appreciate any help. I'm told the picture was taken in the rain forest near Arenal, in Costa Rica, and that the flowers themselves were about 5 cm (2 in) long. I asked for other images, especially of the flowers, but at the moment this is all there is. But you guys are so good I feel sure it'll be enough. Thanks, Steve +More (if anyone is wondering, I did get permission to post the picture ...) -- Steve Marak -- samarak at gizmoworks.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
