Disella Lepidota

Lepidote disella, scientifically known as Disella lepidota, is a rare and enigmatic plant species found in specific microhabitats across Southeast Asia. This small, herbaceous plant is characterized by its distinctive, waxy leaves and delicate, star-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring. Despite its modest size, Disella lepidota plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, supporting a variety of insect pollinators and contributing to the biodiversity of its native regions. Due to habitat loss and limited genetic diversity, the species faces significant conservation challenges. Researchers and conservationists are working to protect and study this unique plant to ensure its survival for future generations.
