Circaea Glabrescens

Circaea glabrescens is a low-growing perennial plant native to moist woodlands and rocky slopes across northern regions. It is known for its delicate white flowers that bloom in early summer, adding a subtle beauty to shaded environments. The plant's leaves are opposite and oval-shaped, with a smooth texture that distinguishes it from similar species. It thrives in cool, humid climates and is often found in forest understories where light is limited. Despite its modest appearance, Circaea glabrescens plays an important role in supporting local insect populations and maintaining ecological balance.
