The red, pointy bud-like structure drew my attention. This plant has large, lobed and smooth leaves.

Seen in the tropical rainforest of Akaka Falls State Park, where the annual rainfall is very high. The plant was also spotted in moderate shade, where it virtually grows in a stream. Prefers tropical climates.

Notes:
