Cleome longipes of the Capper family (Capparidaceae) is a shrub found in the dry tropics and rainforest clearings from Costa Rica to northern Peru. Its most interesting characteristic is its gynophore (stipe of a pistil), which can be up to six inches (15 centimeters) in length (exceeded only by Gigasiphon macrosiphon) bearing an equally long and very skinny seed pod. These all emerge from a tiny flower only one-twelfth inch (two millimeters) wide.[1]
