Microcos Coriacea

Microcos coriacea is a unique and resilient plant native to arid and semi-arid regions of Africa. It is known for its thick, waxy leaves that help it conserve water in harsh environments. This plant is often used in traditional medicine for its purported health benefits. Its ability to thrive in poor soil conditions makes it an important species for ecological restoration. Despite its hardy nature, Microcos coriacea remains a relatively understudied plant in modern botany.
