Athenaea Orinocensis

Orinoco trumpet tree, scientifically known as Athenaea orinocensis, is a striking and rare species native to the Orinoco River basin in South America. This unique plant is characterized by its large, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in vibrant shades of yellow and orange. Despite its beauty, the Orinoco trumpet tree remains relatively unknown to the wider botanical community. Its limited distribution and habitat specificity make it a subject of interest for conservationists and botanists alike. Due to deforestation and habitat loss, the survival of this remarkable tree is under increasing threat.
