Aristolochia grandiflora, Swartz (A. gigas, Lindl.). Pelican-flower. Swan-flower. Goose-flower. Duck-Flower. Figs. 378,379. Downy climbing shrub: Lvs. cordate-acuminate; peduncles striate, exceeding the petiole, 1-fld.: the fl.-bud is "bent like a siphon in the tube, so as to resemble the body and neck of a bird, while the limb, in that state, resembles the head and beak thrown back upon the body, as a pelican when that bird is at rest, whence the name" (Hook, in B.M., vol. 74): the great expanded cordate-ovate limb several inches across, wavy-margined, purple-blotched and veined, terminating in a long and slender ciliated tail: strong-scented. Var. Sturtevantii, W. Wats., is the form chiefly known in cult., being very large-fld., often 20 in. diam., and with a tail 3 ft. or more long. W. Indies, Cent, and S. Amer. B.M. 4368-9. B.R. 28:60. F.S. 4:351-2. G.F. 3:597-599 (adapted in Fig. 379). A.F. 10:157. G.G. III. 19:73. Gng. 3:23. Gn. 50:378. Var. Hookeri, Duch. (A. gigantea, Hook.), is glabrous, inodorous, with a short-tailed fl.
