The genus Tacca, which includes the Bat flowers and Arrowroot, consists of ten species of flowering plants in the order Dioscoreales, native to tropical regions of Africa, Australia, and south-eastern Asia. Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants for their bold foliage and large flowers.

Wow, that is what everyone says when they see Tacca integrifolia in flower. For most of the country this is an indoor house plant and grows just like a peace lily or spathophyllum. Originating from south East Asia it is very tropical and exotic. This is the white form and has the largest flowers with tendrils extending down from the flower as far as 1 meter. Each flower is the size of a human head. Once mature this plant will flower one after another for months. It is very important to keep it moist all the time, not soggy just moist and low light. Everyone should have one of these just as a curiosity conversation piece; you have never seen anything quite like this. Spectacular is not the word for this one!!
