Phylloglossum

Phylloglossum is a diminutive, perennial plant unique for its simple, club-shaped structure. It thrives in moist, sandy soils, typically in areas that seasonally dry up. This habitat allows phylloglossum to avoid competition with larger plants, ensuring its survival. Its growth cycle aligns with the wet season, emerging to reproduce before retreating underground as tubers.
