Hemipilia Nana

Nana hemipilia, scientifically known as Hemipilia nana, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of southern China. This species belongs to the orchid family, Orchidaceae, and is characterized by its small, pale pink or white blossoms that bloom in early spring. Despite its modest size, Hemipilia nana holds cultural and ecological significance in its native habitat. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found growing in shaded forest floors. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, this species is increasingly threatened, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
