Ocotea rariflora is a rare and enigmatic plant native to the cloud forests of Central America. It belongs to the Lauraceae family, known for its aromatic and often medicinal properties. This species is characterized by its striking, narrow leaves and small, clustered flowers that bloom in the cool, humid conditions of its habitat.
