Photo of an ascending stem with distichous lanceolate leaves, the tips of which are drawn out into tendrils.

Flagellaria neocaledonica, which I photographed in New Caledonia, is 1 of just 5 species in Flagellaria, the sole genus of #Flagellariaceae (#Poales). It’s another #OddMonocot. Look at how the leaf tips are tendrils. Flowers are small & perfect but borne in large panicles. #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
