Photo of an erect inflorescence emerging from an undergrowth of ferns. The inflorescence has a 90 degree bend and bears many red stamen brush-like flowers along the upper side of the bent arm.

#Xeronemataceae include a single genus of two species, one from New Zealand and this one, Xeronema moorei (Antoin Simon CCBYNC4 via iNaturalist), from New Caledonia. Perching bird pollination seems probable, but butterflies might also be involved. #OddMonocot #Asparagales #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
