Corybas Merrillii

Merrill's hooded orchid, scientifically known as Corybas merrillii, is a rare and enigmatic flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. This orchid is characterized by its unique hood-like structure that encloses its flowers, giving it its common name. It thrives in humid, shaded environments, often found in dense forests or along rocky outcrops. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, the species is considered vulnerable to environmental changes and habitat destruction. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this delicate and fascinating botanical wonder.
