Cysticapnos

Cysticapnos features delicate, climbing stems and finely divided leaves, resembling a lacy veil. It bears small, papery capsules that dangle like tiny lanterns, adapted to release seeds upon contact with passing animals, leveraging its environment for dispersal. This plant thrives in shaded, moist areas, where its light-seeking tendrils can climb and spread efficiently.
