Bonnaya ciliata subsp. ciliata
Bonnaya ciliata subsp. ciliata is a delicate, creeping perennial herb with small, hairy leaves and distinctive, slender stems. Its leaves typically bear fine cilia, which give the subspecies its name. The foliage often responds to its moist and shaded habitat by growing denser to maximize light absorption. Minute, pale flowers may occasionally be seen, contributing to its subtle charm but often overlooked upon first glance.
