Othocallis Ingridiae

Ingrid's cress, scientifically known as Othocallis ingridiae, is a rare and delicate plant native to the high-altitude regions of the Andes. This unique species was first discovered in the 1980s and named in honor of a botanist who contributed significantly to its study. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is characterized by its small, edible leaves and vibrant green color. Due to its limited habitat and susceptibility to environmental changes, it is considered endangered. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this remarkable plant from extinction.
