Stelis Verbiformis

Stelis verbiformis is a rare orchid species native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking, elongated flowers that resemble leaves, a unique adaptation that aids in camouflage. This plant thrives in humid, shaded environments, often growing on tree trunks or rocks. Its delicate appearance belies its resilience in challenging ecosystems. Due to habitat loss, Stelis verbiformis is now considered endangered, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival.
