Carumbium Amboinicum

Carumbium amboinicum is a rare and lesser-known plant native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It belongs to the Rubiaceae family, which includes over 13,000 species of flowering plants. This plant is characterized by its small, fragrant flowers and its unique ability to thrive in shaded environments. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered endangered and is often overlooked in botanical studies. Despite its rarity, Carumbium amboinicum holds potential for medicinal research and conservation efforts.
