Microcharis karinensis is a rare and enigmatic plant species native to the mountainous regions of Colombia. It belongs to the nightshade family, Solanaceae, and is known for its unique floral structure and bioluminescent properties. This plant thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in cloud forests. Due to its limited distribution and fragile ecosystem, it is considered endangered. Researchers are studying Microcharis karinensis to better understand its ecological role and potential medicinal uses.
