Mexican-hat-plant (Chiranthodendron pentadactylon)

The "Mexican Hand Tree" (Chiranthodendron pentadactylon), also known as the "Devil's Hand Tree," is renowned for its unusual flowers that resemble a red hand emerging from the plant. In its native regions of Guatemala and Mexico, it is referred to as árbol de la manita, meaning 'the little hand tree.' This tree has been the emblem of the Botanical Society of Mexico since the 1940s.
