Hedyotis Brevipes

Small-leaf hedyotis, scientifically known as Hedyotis brevipes, is a delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its small, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of bright yellow flowers that bloom in the summer months. This species thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in forest undergrowth or along stream banks. Due to its unique appearance and ecological significance, it is a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike. However, habitat destruction and over-collection have led to its decline, making it a rare and endangered plant in many areas.
