Stevia Urticifolia Var. Boliviensis

Stevia urticifolia var. boliviensis is a lesser-known but fascinating plant native to the high-altitude regions of Bolivia. This variant of the stevia genus is known for its unique foliage and medicinal properties. Unlike the more commonly used stevia leaves, this variety has a more pronounced bitterness and is less commercially cultivated. It thrives in cool, humid climates and is often found in mountainous environments. Despite its potential, it remains largely overlooked in favor of its more popular relatives.
