Tacca chantrieri is a species of flowering plant in the yam family Dioscoreaceae. It was first described in 1901 by Édouard André. [1] T. chantrieri is native to southeastern Asia. It is commonly known as the black bat flower due to its shape and coloring. [2]
Many Tacca species have nearly black flowers, with conspicuous involucral bracts and bracteoles like whiskers. [5] Engbert Drenth hypothesized that species of this genus attracted "carrion and dung flies" for pollination and that the fleshy seam of the seed might be attractive to ants and hence that ants might aid in seed dispersal.

The first taccalonolide was isolated in 1963 from the tubers of Tacca leontopetaloides when researchers were exploring the "bitter principle" of the plant. [4] Named taccalin, the bitter, light yellow powder and its hypothesized properties would help build the infrastructure for the elucidation of the structure of taccaolonolides 24 years later.
