Orthodon Lanceolatus

Lanceleaf orthodon, scientifically known as Orthodon lanceolatus, is a striking member of the Acanthaceae family native to tropical regions of Africa and Southeast Asia. This plant is characterized by its elongated, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of vibrant, tubular flowers that range in color from red to purple. It thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in forest understories or along stream banks. Due to its ornamental value and unique appearance, it has become a sought-after plant among horticulturists and plant enthusiasts. However, habitat loss and over-collection have led to its decline, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival.
