Some flowers have evolved to look like a variety of things to attract pollinators, but how do you attract bats which have poor eyesight? Marcgravia evenia have cupped leaves which bounce back echolocation from bats. This adaptation comes at the expense of efficient photosynthesis, but the benefit of attracting bats outweighs that cost.
