Cyclantheropsis Parviflora

Cyclantheropsis parviflora is a rare and delicate member of the Cucurbitaceae family. Native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, it thrives in humid, shaded environments. Its small, fragrant flowers and unique leaf structure make it a fascinating subject for botanists and horticulturists. Despite its beauty, it remains poorly understood due to its limited distribution and challenging cultivation requirements. This plant offers valuable insights into evolutionary adaptations within the gourd family.
