Assonia Longifolia

Longleaf assonia, scientifically known as Assonia longifolia, is a rare and striking member of the Rubiaceae family found in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This plant is characterized by its long, slender leaves that give it its common name, and its delicate, fragrant flowers that bloom in clusters. Despite its beauty, Assonia longifolia is critically endangered due to habitat loss and over-collection for ornamental purposes. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and propagate this unique species. Its survival is crucial for maintaining biodiversity in its native ecosystems.
