Ford's lasianthus, scientifically known as Lasianthus fordii f. pubescens, is a rare and captivating flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of China. This unique species belongs to the Rubiaceae family, which includes over 13,000 species of flowering plants worldwide. Its distinguishing feature is the dense, fuzzy covering on its stems and leaves, giving it a soft, velvety appearance.
