"Heliconia rostrata" is an herbaceous perennial native to Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador, and naturalized in Puerto Rico. Other "Heliconia"s grow in the upright position, their cup-shaped flower bracts storing water for birds and insects. This plant, however, has downward-facing flowers, the flowers thus providing a source of nectar to birds.
