Aristolochia grandiflora produces large solitary flowers from the axils of leaves. Leaves are cordate and can be up to 25 cm (9.8 in) wide. Flowers are heart shaped: 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) wide and have tails that are up to 60 cm (24 in). The flower is green/white with purple/brown veins. The center of the flower is darker colored, which attracts pollinators along with a distinctive odor to its reproductive elements. The flower has three sections, utricle, tube and limb, characteristic to all Aristolochiaceae.
The plant is native to the Caribbean and Central America, and has been introduced to Florida in the United States as an attractor of butterflies. It is found in tropical forests near streams and gullies.

Benefits:

  • Used in traditional Chinese medicine for arthritis and edema
  • Has been used as a reptile repellent, particularly against snakes
  • Some believe it stimulates white blood cell activity and aids in wound healing
  • Aristolochia indica (a related species) is known as “worm killer” due to its supposed antihelminthic properties
  • Pollinated by flies attracted to the flower’s odor, which is a blend of essential oils. 
  • Flies travel down the tubular part of the flower and are trapped by trichomes until the reproductive process is complete
  • The process involves the fly carrying pollen from other flowers, the release of pollen from the stamen, and the fly eating nectar produced inside the flower.
