Melandrium inflatum is a unique flowering plant known for its distinctive swollen, fleshy stems and clusters of small, white flowers. Native to parts of Europe and Asia, it thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and stream sides. This plant is often mistaken for a type of bladder campion due to its similar appearance. Its unusual morphology has made it a subject of interest for botanists and plant enthusiasts alike. Despite its delicate look, Melandrium inflatum is surprisingly resilient and adaptable to various environmental conditions.
