Description[edit] Many plants in this family are thermogenic (heat-producing).[9] Their flowers can reach up to 45°C even when the surrounding air temperature is much lower. One reason for this unusually high temperature is to attract insects (usually beetles) to pollinate the plant, rewarding the beetles with heat energy. Another reason is to prevent tissue damage in cold regions. Araceae. [edit] Name[edit] Araceae Juss. (1789); nom. cons.
