Sinosideroxylon Racemosum

Sinosideroxylon racemosum is a rare and ancient tree species native to the mountainous regions of southern China. It belongs to the family Rubiaceae and is known for its unique morphology and ecological significance. This plant thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in dense forest understories. Due to habitat loss and overharvesting, it is now critically endangered and requires urgent conservation efforts. Its study offers valuable insights into plant evolution and biodiversity in tropical ecosystems.
