Catasetum saccatum

Catasetum saccatum, the sack-shaped catasetum, is a species of orchid.

Charles Darwin remarked on the ability of the species to launch its viscid pollen sacs with explosive force, when an insect touches a seta. He was ridiculed for reporting this by the naturalist Thomas Huxley.
