Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus is a lesser-known species of the Costaceae family native to the tropical regions of South America. This unique plant is characterized by its striking, arrowhead-shaped leaves and vibrant, orange-red flowers that bloom in clusters. It thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in the undergrowth of rainforests.
