This shrub belongs to the Rhamnaceae family and is characterized by its distinctive foliage and small, yellowish flowers. Despite its limited distribution, it plays an important ecological role in its native habitat. Due to habitat loss and limited study, the plant remains poorly understood by the scientific community. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its survival in the wild.
