Gunnera
Gunnera is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants, some of them gigantic. The genus is the only member of the family Gunneraceae. The 40-50 species vary enormously in leaf size. Gunnera manicata, native to the Serra do Mar mountains of southeastern Brazil, is perhaps the largest species, with leaves typically 1.5–2 m wide, but exceptionally long, up to 3.4 m, borne on thick, succulent leaf stalks up to 2.5 m long. It germinates best in very moist, but not wet, conditions and temperatures of 22 to 29 °C. Only slightly smaller is G. masafuerae of the Juan Fernandez Islands off the Chilean coast. They can have leaves up to 2.9 m in width on stout leaf stalks 1.5 m long and 11 cm thick according to Skottsberg. On nearby Isla Más Afuera, G. peltata frequently has an upright trunk to 5.5 m in height by 25–30 cm thick, bearing leaves up to 2 m wide. G. magnifica of the Colombian Andes bears the largest leaf buds of any plant; up to 60 cm long and 40 cm thick. The succulent leaf stalks are up to 2.7 m long. The massive inflorescence of small, reddish flowers is up to 2.3 m long and weighs about 13 kg. Other giant Gunnera species are found throughout the Neotropics and Hawaii.
