Definition
A genus of large tropical and subtropical plants with giant leaves, sometimes called giant rhubarb.
Etymology
Named after Johann Ernst Gunnerus, an 18th-century Norwegian botanist and bishop. The plant was formally classified and named in his honor during the era of Linnaean taxonomy.
Kelly Says
Gunnera is absolutely massive—some species grow leaves bigger than a person's head, and the plant was so exotic that Victorian gardeners became obsessed with growing it in their greenhouses as a status symbol.
