Onosmodium Molle Subsp. Subsetosum

Onosmodium molle subsp. subsetosum is a lesser-known member of the Rubiaceae family that thrives in the shaded undergrowth of tropical forests. This plant is characterized by its delicate, finely toothed leaves and clusters of small, fragrant white flowers. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining biodiversity. Its unique morphology and habitat preferences make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists. However, due to habitat loss, it faces increasing threats to its survival.
