Lepidagathis Eucephala Var. Zollingeriana

Zollinger's lepidagathis, scientifically known as Lepidagathis eucephala var. zollingeriana, is a rare and unique flowering plant native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This variant of Lepidagathis eucephala is distinguished by its strikingly large, showy inflorescences that resemble intricate floral crowns. Despite its beauty, it remains a relatively obscure species, with limited documentation in botanical literature. The plant thrives in humid, shaded environments, often found in dense rainforests. Due to habitat loss and limited cultivation, Zollinger's lepidagathis is considered a species of conservation concern.
