Phoradendron Costaricense

Phoradendron costaricense is a unique parasitic plant native to the tropical regions of Central America. It is known for its ability to grow on the branches of other trees, drawing nutrients and water from its host. This plant has a distinctive appearance with its long, thin stems and clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers. Despite its parasitic nature, it plays a role in the ecological balance of its habitat. Its study offers insights into plant adaptation and symbiotic relationships in forest ecosystems.
