Psychotria Tepuiensis

Psychotria tepuiensis is a rare and enigmatic plant native to the remote tepuis of South America, known for its striking appearance and ecological significance. Found primarily in the Andes, this species thrives in high-altitude environments with unique microclimates and nutrient-poor soils. Its vibrant flowers and toxic alkaloids have made it a subject of scientific interest and conservation concern. Despite its beauty, it remains poorly studied due to its isolated habitat and challenging terrain. This plant exemplifies the biodiversity and fragility of ecosystems in the world's most isolated regions.
