elephant head
Trunk-bearing animal's cranium
Elephant head refers to a wildflower of the genus *Pedicularis*, named for its distinctive blossoms that resemble an elephant's face—the fused petals forming a curved trunk and the lateral lobes suggesting ears.
These plants grow in wet mountain meadows across North America: We spotted elephant heads blooming near the stream.
