Manettia Pedunculata Var. Ciliata

Manettia pedunculata var. ciliata is a lesser-known yet fascinating plant species belonging to the Rubiaceae family. Native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, it thrives in humid, shaded environments within dense rainforests. This variant is distinguished by its delicate, ciliated leaves and clusters of small, fragrant flowers that bloom throughout the wet season. Its unique morphology and ecological niche make it an important subject for botanical study. Despite its beauty, it remains underdocumented and often overlooked in mainstream horticultural circles.
