Racinaea crispa

Racinaea crispa is adorned with tough, curled leaves creating a dense rosette that clings to tree branches. Its hardiness and shape allow it to collect rainwater and debris, a clever adaptation to its native cloud forest habitat. The leaves, often covered in fine scales, shimmer with a silvery hue, catching the eye and sunlight alike.
