Newtonia Leucocarpa

Newtonia leucocarpa is a rare and unique plant native to the tropical regions of Africa. It is known for its distinctive white fruiting bodies that resemble small, inflated balloons. The plant thrives in humid environments and is often found in dense forests or near water sources. Its scientific name reflects both its genus and its pale, white fruiting structures. Despite its unusual appearance, it plays an important ecological role in its native habitat.
