👉 Elaphandra is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. They are known for their colorful flowers, which can range from pink to white. The leaves are usually sessile (not attached to the stem), and the fruit, called an elaphid or a cypripedum, is often used in traditional medicine as an antiseptic and as a source of tinctures.
