Yateveo



Yateveo (from the Spanish: Ya te veo, "I already see you") is the appellation for a cryptobotanical carnivorous plant with supposed origins in South America. The man-eating tree was first described to English-speaking audiences by James William Buel in his 1887 book Sea and Land: An Illustrated History of the Wonderful and Curious Things of Nature Existing Before and Since the Deluge, in which he credits in particular Antonio Jose Marquez, a Colombian doctor from Barranquilla, as a source of his information.
