Cinnamomum Tomentulosum

Cinnamomum tomentulosum is a unique evergreen shrub native to the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. Known for its thick, woolly leaves and aromatic bark, it holds cultural and medicinal significance in traditional practices. This plant is often mistaken for cinnamon due to its similar name, but it is botanically distinct. Its habitat thrives in humid, shaded environments, making it a rare and sought-after species. Despite its beauty and utility, it remains under-studied and endangered in the wild.
