Amborella (Amborellaceae)

Amborella

Amborella is a primitive shrub found exclusively in the understories of New Caledonian rainforests. It features small, pale green flowers and glossy, evergreen leaves that are broadly lanceolate, contributing to a modest, yet vital presence within its habitat. The plant’s dioecious arrangement (separate male and female plants) plays a crucial role in its reproduction strategy, optimized for a moist, shaded environment.
