Platythelys Roseoalba

Rose-white platythelys, scientifically known as Platythelys roseoalba, is a rare and captivating flowering plant native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This unique species is distinguished by its striking combination of rose-pink petals and a white center, creating a visually stunning display. Despite its beauty, the plant remains poorly studied due to its limited geographic range and elusive habitat. It thrives in shaded, moist environments, often found in dense undergrowth of rainforests. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this endangered species from habitat loss and over-collection.
