Heliconia psittacorum (parrot's beak, parakeet flower, parrot's flower, parrot's plantain, false bird-of-paradise) is a perennial herb native to the Caribbean and South America. It is considered native to French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago. It is reportedly naturalized in Gambia, Thailand, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica and the Lesser Antilles.^[2] It is often cultivated as a tropical ornamental plant in regions outside its native range.

The flower has both male parts (anthers) and female parts (stigma and pistil), also referred to as a monoecious angiosperm.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
