Iseilema Trichopus

Iseilema woolly, scientifically known as Iseilema trichopus, is a unique and fascinating plant native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This species is characterized by its dense, woolly foliage that gives it a distinctive appearance and helps it thrive in humid environments. It is often found in shaded, moist habitats such as forests and undergrowth, where it plays a vital role in the local ecosystem. Due to its ornamental qualities, Iseilema trichopus has gained popularity among plant enthusiasts and collectors. However, its survival is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and overharvesting, making conservation efforts essential for its future.
