Leaf-flower

Leaf-flower is a diverse family of flowering plants, primarily characterized by their mimicry of branching patterns, often resembling leaves. Their unique arrangement aids in maximizing photosynthesis while adapting to various light conditions. These plants typically thrive in tropical and subtropical regions, exhibiting resilience in both dry and moist environments. Their small, inconspicuous flowers are crucial for pollination, often overlooked due to their subtlety.
