Calpicarpum Mianum

Calpicarpum mianum is a rare and enigmatic plant species native to the mountainous regions of southern China. It belongs to the family Ericaceae, commonly known as the heath family, and is characterized by its compact, shrub-like growth form. Despite its limited geographic range, it exhibits unique morphological features that set it apart from other members of its family. The plant thrives in cool, moist environments with well-drained soil, often found in shaded forest understories. Due to its rarity and ecological significance, Calpicarpum mianum is considered a valuable subject for botanical research and conservation efforts.
