Jovellana repens

Jovellana repens, a perennial creeping shrub, thrives in damp, shaded areas. Its distinctive small, rounded leaves form a dense mat along the ground, while delicate tubular flowers with a signature speckling draw both attention and pollinators during bloom. Adapted to its understory habitat, jovellana repens exhibits a robust capacity for spreading, making it identifiable as much by its growth habit as by its morphology.
