Macroplectrum Sororium

Common spiny orchid, scientifically known as Macroplectrum sororium, is a rare and intriguing member of the orchid family found primarily in the wetlands of Southeast Asia. This plant is distinguished by its unique spiny leaves and delicate, pale pink flowers that bloom during the rainy season. Despite its ornamental appeal, it plays a vital role in its ecosystem by supporting local pollinators and maintaining wetland biodiversity. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, it faces significant threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its survival for future generations.
