Athruphyllum yunnanense is a rare and unique plant species native to the mountainous regions of Yunnan, China. It belongs to the family Podostomata, which includes aquatic and semi-aquatic plants found in fast-flowing rivers. This plant is notable for its specialized adaptations to its harsh, wetland environment. Its small, delicate leaves and root systems help it anchor in rocky substrates. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, Athruphyllum yunnanense is considered a vulnerable species requiring conservation efforts.
