Here are a couple of ant plants that were a gift from DaveS at last year's NECPS show. First is Hydnophytum formicarium, second is Myrmecodia tuberosa:

I had one Myrmecodia sp. when I was teenager.. such a stringe plant!
formicarium means "owned by the ants" and Myrmecodia comes from ancient greek "ants". Ah, very fantasious taxonomists :P
