Randia Bispinosa

Redroot caper, scientifically known as Randia bispinosa, is a striking tropical shrub native to the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America. With its vibrant red flowers and distinctive spiny stems, it stands out in both natural and cultivated landscapes. This plant is often found in moist, shaded environments such as forests and riverbanks, where it thrives in humid conditions. Its unique appearance has made it a popular choice for ornamental gardening, though it requires careful management due to its invasive tendencies. Despite its beauty, the Redroot caper holds cultural significance in some regions and is sometimes used in traditional medicine.
