Palisota flagelliflora

Palisota flagelliflora is a plant species endemic to Cameroon.

It grows on the ground in secondary tropical forests.

[1][2] Palisota flagelliflora is the only known species in its genus that reproduces by means of stolons arising aerially within a rosette then running horizontally along the forest floor.

Inflorescences are created at nodes along the stolon, each inflorescence consisting of maroon bracts up to 4 cm long, subtending a small group of flowers, some staminate, others hermaphroditic.

Sepals are boat-shaped, up to 8 mm long, red and glabrous on the upper side, with long hairs on the under side.
