Cobaea trianae

Native to Colombia, far western Venezuela, and Ecuador, it is a climbing vine of humid Andean forests. Tendrils help its stems attach to surrounding vegetation. Its large, bell-shaped flowers have pale yellow-green corollas that can show purple veins, with broad, spreading lobes shorter than the flower tube. The calyx surrounding each flower is divided into narrow, pointed segments. Long stamens bear prominent anthers, and their filaments become wavy after flowering. Nectar-feeding bats, including Anoura geoffroyi, visit and pollinate its flowers. Photographed in the department of Cauca, Colombia.
