This weird plant is the recently described Bolivian endemic Gorgonidium striatum. Endemic means it's native to only one place and nowhere else - in this case, tropical rainforests on the eastern Andean slopes in Bolivia. As a member of the family Araceae, it has a spadix and spathe inflorescence, which means it has a spike of many tiny flowers (here they're dark purple-brown) surrounded by a big bract (modified leaf), which here is both mottled and striped with green, cream, and a bit of purple. It's an interesting one!

I just wanted to show off the new leaf that just unfurled on my Alocasia Frydek. This plant is so pretty!

Also don’t mind the sacrificial acclimation leaf that’s drooping lol. We don’t talk about her.
