Withania Orinocensis

Withania orinocensis, scientifically known as Withania orinocensis, is a rare and enigmatic plant species native to the Orinoco region of South America. This member of the Solanaceae family is distinguished by its unique morphology and medicinal potential. Despite its ecological significance, it remains poorly studied due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity. The plant thrives in tropical dry forests and is often found in shaded, moist environments. Its discovery and conservation are critical for understanding biodiversity in the region.
