Copper

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 63 feet (19.2 meters) tall. The pleated stem is grey or dark brown, and is covered in handfuls of fine, red, hair-like spines. It has a wonky, stumpy, red trunk atop a bulbous block of silky, exposed roots. The branches are stumpy and copper and are very long and thin.

The smooth-edged, long, narrow leaves are a shade of silver that gradient shifts to blood red at the top. They are robust, and take some effort to detach.

It is slow growing, taking 48 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are ashy purple in the center, hazel in the middle and faded yellow at the edges grow at the top, reappearing once every 3 years. The flower head is shaped like a trumpet made up of 18 widely spaced, narrow petals. It has an intensely strong scent that smells like rotting meat.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the bronze flesh is rough, and the black sap is thin.
