Summary

Calathea crotalifera, the rattlesnake plant or rattle shaker or Cascabel, is a species of flowering plant in the family Marantaceae. It is native to central and southern Mexico, Central America, and tropical South America as far south as Ecuador, and it has been introduced to Hawai'i and Puerto Rico. A rhizomatous perennial, its banana-like leaves reaching to 3 m (10 ft), it is typically found in wet tropical areas. It has found use as an ornamental. The yellow (or sometimes pink) flowers are in spikes up to 40 cm (16 in) high with each flower subtended by a saucer-like yellow bract. These flowers, like Canna, have a single petaloid stamen bearing a single locule. ...read more on Wikipedia.
