Deinostigma Poilanei

Poilane's bower vine, scientifically known as Deinostigma poilanei, is a rare and striking plant native to the humid rainforests of Madagascar. With its cascading foliage and vibrant, showy flowers, it captivates botanists and plant lovers alike. This unique species is named in honor of the French botanist Jean Poilane, who first documented it in the early 20th century. Its delicate appearance belies its resilience, thriving in the dense, competitive environment of its natural habitat. Despite its beauty, Deinostigma poilanei remains poorly understood and is under threat from habitat loss and climate change.
