Circaeaster

Circaeaster is a peculiar herbaceous perennial that thrives in the moist, shaded soils of mountainous terrains. It exhibits a star-like arrangement of leaves, radiating around a central stem, which is distinctive for identification. The simplicity of its architecture, featuring small, inconspicuous flowers, allows it to blend seamlessly into the understorey, reducing competition from other flora.
