Codonoboea Bombycina

Codonoboea bombycina is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of South America. Known for its vibrant, pendulous flowers that resemble delicate silk ribbons, it captivates botanists and plant lovers alike. This species thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in cloud forests at high altitudes. Its unique appearance and limited distribution make it a subject of both scientific interest and conservation concern. Despite its beauty, Codonoboea bombycina remains under-studied and vulnerable to habitat loss.
