Tacca chantrieri is also known as the bat flower. You can probably see why. Those black, bat-like flowers can apparently grow up to 30cm in diameter!
They're shade loving plants which grow in the forest understorey across Southeast Asia and Southern China. They're also related to yams.

I was not expecting the yam part of this. I have this growing list of plants I'd love to see in their natural habitat. Love this unique, flowers.

Exactly why I'd like to go hiking in the jungle someday!

That sounds awesome for the plants alone. I probably wouldn't get far just stopping to look and ID all the things.
