Brazilian red-cloak
Megaskepasma Erythrochlamys



     Native to Venezuela, Megaskepasma is a small bush which can grow up to 5 meters high, very appreciated in the West Indies for its scarlet bracts aggregated in long bunches from 20 to 30 centimeters, and for its nice dense leaves. The photo below shows the true white flowers which bloom out of the bracts.
