Placus Flexuosus

Placus flexuosus is a rare and delicate flowering plant known for its unique, spiraling growth pattern. Native to the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia, it thrives in cool, moist environments with partial shade. Its elongated stems curl and twist in a mesmerizing display, creating a natural spiral that captivates botanists and gardeners alike. The plant produces small, pale flowers that bloom in late spring, adding a subtle beauty to its intricate form. Due to habitat loss, Placus flexuosus is now considered endangered, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
