Urostigma Macrophyllum

Bigleaf urostigma, scientifically known as Urostigma macrophyllum, is a striking plant native to the mountainous regions of South America. With its large, heart-shaped leaves that can reach up to 15 inches in diameter, it stands out among other flora for its bold appearance. This species thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in cloud forests and high-altitude meadows. Its unique foliage makes it a popular choice for botanical gardens and conservation efforts. Despite its beauty, it remains a relatively obscure plant in the broader horticultural community.
