Myrmecodia platytyrea, unusual ant-plant, with provenance, Tropiflora 2998

(Myr03122016-6)
Myrmecodia platytyrea is native to the island of New Guinea and the Cape York area of Australia. The species name platytyrea is often misspelled – this is the correct spelling*. The key features that make me certain of this identification are the long flowers (16 to 18 mm) and the way the leaf bases (clypeoli) line up like gently twisting kernels on a corn cob on the stem of adult plants. In habitat adult plants often hang straight down from tree branches! Aquired 7/7/2016
