A blunt is a cigar which is wider than a cigarillo and not quite as wide as a Corona, generally equivalent to a petit corona while short panatellas are sometimes classified as mini-blunts. These cigars typically consist of two main parts; the inner leaf, which is similar to a cigarette rolling paper, except it is made of tobacco, and a thicker outer leaf which is rolled around the inner leaf in a spiral. In most commercially available blunts, the "leaves" are not actual tobacco leaves but rather paper made from tobacco pulp.
In botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem. Phyllotactic spirals form a distinctive class of patterns in nature.

Gymnopodium is a section within the genus Anthurium. It is composed of the extremely rare Cuban species Anthurium gymnopus. Plants of this section are of somewhat scandent habit, with medium to long internodes, deciduous cataphylls, and somewhat leathery, suborbicular leaf blades. Other notable features include a long inflorescence with a stipitate spadix. The most notable feature is that mature berries contain up to four seeds, rather than the typical two.
Anthurium hookeri, the bird's nest anthurium, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Anthurium. The specimens sold are almost always hybrids and not the species. Anthurium hookeri possesses some unique features which include, short internodes, dense roots, and lanceolate cataphylls. The leaves have triangular to D-shaped petioles 2–9 cm long, are rosulate, 10–26 cm wide, 35–89 cm long. The leaves exhibit a scalariforme venation and supervolute vernation. Covering the leaves are tiny black glandular punctuates. The berries produced by the plant are white.
Anthurium andraeanum is a flowering plant species in the family Araceae that is native to Colombia and Ecuador. A winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, it is one of the plants listed in the NASA Clean Air Study as effective in removing formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, and ammonia from the air.
Anthurium crystallinum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to rainforest margins in Central and South America, from Panama to Peru. Growing to 90 cm (35 in) tall and broad, it is an epiphytic perennial, characterised by large, velvety oval leaves with prominent white veining, and inflorescences with green spathes and pale green spadices throughout the year.
Anthurium clarinervium, known as the velvet cardboard anthurium, is a species of flowering plant is in the family Araceae, native to Chiapas, Mexico. The Anthurium genus is known to contain approximately 1,000 species, resulting in one of the most diverse Central American tropical plant genera.
Anthurium schlechtendalii, also known as pheasant's tail or cola de fasian in Spanish, is a broad-leafed plant used for multiple medicinal purposes, including muscle and joint sprains, back pain, arthritis and rheumatism.
Anthurium warocqueanum, commonly known as the Queen Anthurium, is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium. Native to Colombia, it is grown in more temperate climates as a greenhouse specimen or houseplant for its ornamental foliage.
Anthurium pedatoradiatum or Anthurium Fingers is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to southern Mexico. A. pedatoradiatum has leaves with deep finger-like sections, and is terrestrial. Its natural habitat is from sea level up to 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) in the Mexican states of Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas. It is related to other Anthurium in the section Schizoplacium such as Anthurium podophyllum, and its species name in Latin refers to the radiating growth of its palm-like leaves.
Anthurium scherzerianum, the flamingo flower or pigtail plant, is a species of Anthurium native to Costa Rica. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental houseplant, kept at 15 °C (60 °F) or higher. It is naturally an epiphyte, growing on trees in the rainforest.
Anthurium magnificum is a plant in the genus Anthurium native to Colombia. Closely resembling other Anthurium species like Anthurium crystallinum, it has large, cordate leaves with prominent veining and is primarily terrestrial. Plants of the true species can be distinguished primarily by their quadrangular petioles.
Anthurium coriaceum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to southeast Brazil. A "bird's nest" type of Anthurium of the section Pachyneurium, it grows either terrestrially or epilithically in areas of seasonal dryness. It has erect leaves that feel like leather, which is where its scientific name derives from.
Anthurium papillilaminum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to Panama. A. papillilaminum grows terrestrially and has very dark green cordate leaves on short stems. Its native range is very limited, with the species endemic to only the coasts of Colón Province and Darién Province up to 100 meters (330 ft) above sea level. A member of the section Cardiolonchium, it is closely related to other velvet-leaved Anthuriums, though it does not have silver veins on the leaves like Anthurium crystallinum.
Anthurium corrugatum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to Central and South America from Panama to Ecuador. This species is noted for its cordate leaves with a network of fine veins that gives it a bullate appearance. A terrestrial grower, it is adapted to cool, humid climates. It is a member of the section Polyneurium along with Anthurium argyrostachyum and others.
Anthurium clavigerum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium. Native to Central and South America, it ranges from Honduras to central and western Brazil. This epiphyte has distinctive leaves that are deeply lobed and sometimes sinuous edges. The main stem can be several meters long and the palmate leaves can be 2 meters across, giving it the largest foliage of any Anthurium in Central America.
Anthurium podophyllum is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to coastal areas of the Mexican states of Veracruz and Oaxaca. A terrestrial species, it grows in tropical forest understories in seasonally dry areas. It is named for its palmate leaves that somewhat resemble plants in the (unrelated) genus Podophyllum, and which have many subdivisions. It is related to other terrestrial Anthurium with similar leaf morphology in the section Schizoplacium, such as Anthurium pedoradiatum, and produces orange berries.
Anthurium dwyeri is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native from Costa Rica to the Chocó Department of Colombia. Named in honor of the botanist Dr John D. Dwyer, it has no known close relatives but is a member of the section Porphyrochitonium. An epiphyte, it is most easily recognizable by its leathery, oblong to elliptical leaves that are 24–40 centimetres (9.4–15.7 in) long and grow on triangular stems.
Anthurium coloradense is a species of plant in the genus Anthurium native to Panama. A member of the section Polyneurium, this terrestrial shrub is most recognizable by its thin, veined leaves and its yellow-green spadix. Its foliage is very similar to other Panamanian species such as Anthurium caperatum, Anthurium santamariae and Anthurium cerrosantiagoense but may be distinguished by details such as the grooves in its stems and the pattern of veining, with the collective vein growing from the third vein in a leaf.
