'Dinosaur Food' (Gunnera Chilensis)

Gunnera Chilensis is a tropical large-leaf plant native to southern Chile and Argentina.  It is commonly known as 'Dinosaur Food,' given its prehistoric appearance and the size of the leaves during the growing season.  


This medium sized Gunnera is shown next to a calla lily for comparison.
