Heliconia rostrata (also known as hanging lobster claw or false bird of paradise) is an herbaceous perennial with downward-facing flowers, the flowers thus providing a source of nectar to birds.
The United States Space Force has unveiled a black and silver logo, following an earlier design released by president Donald Trump that proved controversial.
Revealed 22 July, the logo comprises a delta symbol with a silver border intended to represent defence against "adversaries and threats emanating from the space domain". It encloses a black centre indicative of deep space.
Four grey bevelled elements break up the black centre to symbolise the four armed forces the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps, which will support the space mission. They encase the star Polaris, also known as the North Star.
