Anathallis Lewisiae

Lewisia's anathallis, scientifically known as Anathallis lewisiae, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the high-altitude regions of the Andes. This unique species belongs to the orchid family and is characterized by its small, fragrant blooms that appear during the warmer months. Despite its beauty, it is extremely challenging to cultivate outside its natural habitat due to its specific environmental requirements. The plant's name honors Lewisia, a botanist who contributed significantly to the study of South American flora. Its elusive nature and limited distribution make it a subject of great interest among plant enthusiasts and conservationists alike.
