Calceolaria Dentata Subsp. Cumingiana

Calceolaria dentata subsp. cumingiana is a unique and lesser-known member of the Calceolaria genus, native to the mountainous regions of South America. This plant is distinguished by its striking, hood-like flowers that resemble small cups, giving it a whimsical and almost otherworldly appearance. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in shaded, rocky habitats at higher altitudes. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in botanical circles, with limited research and cultivation efforts. Its delicate structure and rare distribution make it a fascinating subject for plant enthusiasts and scientists alike.
