Prestonia Hirsuta

Hirsute prestonia, scientifically known as Prestonia hirsuta, is a striking member of the Apocynaceae family native to the tropical regions of South America. This plant is recognized for its unique appearance, featuring hairy stems and showy, trumpet-shaped flowers that range in color from white to pink. Despite its ornamental appeal, it is also valued for its ecological role, providing nectar to various pollinators. However, due to habitat loss and over-collection, it faces threats to its survival in the wild. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the continued existence of this remarkable species.
