Gentiana Borneensis Subsp. Apoensis

Bornean gentian, scientifically known as Gentiana borneensis subsp. apoensis, is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Borneo. This subspecies belongs to the gentian family, known for its vibrant blue and purple flowers that bloom in high-altitude environments. Found primarily in the Malaysian state of Sarawak, it thrives in cool, moist habitats and is often associated with cloud forests. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, the Bornean gentian is considered endangered and is a subject of conservation interest. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a valuable species for botanical research and environmental preservation.
