Capparidastrum Coimbranum

Coimbra's caper, scientifically known as Capparidastrum coimbranum, is a rare and unique plant species native to the humid forests of western Africa. This shrub, characterized by its small, edible leaves and delicate yellow flowers, is closely related to the caper family, Capparaceae. Despite its botanical significance, it remains under-studied and poorly understood by the scientific community. Its limited distribution and fragile habitat make it highly vulnerable to environmental threats. Protecting Coimbra's caper is crucial for preserving biodiversity in its native ecosystem.
