Hymenocardia Mollis Var. Genuina

Corkwood, scientifically known as Hymenocardia mollis var. genuina, is a unique and lesser-known plant species native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This evergreen shrub is characterized by its thick, cork-like bark and glossy, lance-shaped leaves that give it a distinctive appearance. Despite its rugged exterior, Corkwood produces delicate white flowers that bloom in clusters, adding a touch of elegance to its otherwise rugged form. It thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in forest understories where it plays a vital ecological role. Due to its rarity and ecological significance, Corkwood is a subject of growing interest among botanists and conservationists alike.
