Anathallis Microtis

Anathallis microtis is a rare and enigmatic orchid native to the cloud forests of Brazil. This small, delicate plant is known for its unique floral structure and specialized pollination mechanisms. It thrives in humid, shaded environments where it competes with numerous other epiphytic species. Due to habitat loss and climate change, its population has been declining, making conservation efforts critical. Researchers continue to study this species to better understand its ecological role and survival strategies.
