Chloranthus (Chloranthaceae)

Chloranthus

Chloranthus is a family of tropical and subtropical plants characterized by their simple, often toothless leaves and small, inconspicuous flowers, usually lacking petals. These plants typically grow in moist, shaded forest environments where their reduced floral structures, likely an adaptation to pollination by wind or non-specialized insects, aid their survival and reproduction. The often aromatic nature of these plants contributes to their ecological interactions.
