Oreodaphne Tristis Var. Oblongifolia

Oreodaphne oblongifolia, scientifically known as Oreodaphne tristis var. oblongifolia, is a rare and lesser-known species of flowering plant native to parts of Southeast Asia. This variant is distinguished by its unique leaf shape and small, clustered flowers that bloom in the rainy season. It thrives in humid, shaded environments within tropical rainforests, often growing along the forest floor or in undergrowth. Due to habitat destruction and limited research, its conservation status remains uncertain. Despite its beauty and ecological importance, Oreodaphne oblongifolia remains overlooked in mainstream botanical studies.
