Cecropia hololeuca

Cecropia hololeuca is a distinctive tropical tree notable for its tall stature and large, deeply lobed leaves which give it an umbrella-like canopy. The silvery undersides of the leaves reflect sunlight, aiding in its adaptation to the lower light conditions of the forest understory. It often forms symbiotic relationships with ants, which inhabit its hollow stems and protect it against herbivores.
