Taxillus Aldabrensis

Taxillus aldabrensis is a rare parasitic plant found exclusively on the remote island of Aldabra in the Indian Ocean. This unique species lacks chlorophyll and relies entirely on its host for nutrients, making it an intriguing subject for botanical study. Its discovery has sparked interest among scientists due to its evolutionary adaptations and ecological significance. The plant's delicate structure and limited habitat highlight the fragility of island ecosystems. Understanding Taxillus aldabrensis offers insights into the complex relationships between parasites and their hosts in isolated environments.
