Melothria Heterophylla

Melothria heterophylla is a rare and unique species of flowering plant native to the southern United States. It is known for its small, fleshy fruits that are often mistaken for berries. This plant thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in swampy areas. Its leaves vary in shape, which is why it is also called the "variable leaf melothria." Despite its limited distribution, it holds significant ecological value in its native habitat.
