Its peculiar inflorescence consists of two large, upright, white-purple \u003cstrong\u003ebracts resembling bat wings\u003c\/strong\u003e and long, thread-like bracteoles – the so-called \u003cstrong\u003e“whiskers” reaching up to 25–30 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and Appearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis species originates from the understory of humid tropical forests in Southeast Asia – from the Eastern Himalayas and India to the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. It is a \u003cstrong\u003erhizomatous perennial\u003c\/strong\u003e usually reaching 60–120 cm in height, with large, entire, dark green, glossy leaves. The dark, almost black flowers combined with the long “whiskers” have also earned the plant the names “devil’s flower” and “cat’s whiskers.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003estrictly tropical, frost-sensitive\u003c\/strong\u003e plant – it requires temperatures consistently above about 13–15°C and corresponds to \u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zone 11\u003c\/strong\u003e.
