Anathallis Bertoniensis

Bertoni's anathallis, scientifically known as Anathallis bertoniensis, is a rare and enigmatic orchid native to the cloud forests of Ecuador. This delicate plant is characterized by its slender stems and small, pale green flowers that bloom in the early morning. Despite its beauty, it remains poorly understood due to its restricted habitat and elusive nature. Its survival is threatened by deforestation and habitat loss, making conservation efforts critical. The study of Bertoni's anathallis offers valuable insights into the biodiversity of Andean ecosystems.
