Strasburgeria (Strasburgeriaceae)

Strasburgeria

Strasburgeria belongs to a rare and unique family of flowering plants, notable for their striking adaptations to moist and shadowy forest habitats. These plants exhibit broad, lush leaves which maximize light absorption in low-light conditions, and their robust root systems are well-adapted to both stabilize and nourish them in the rich, often uneven forest soils. Distinctive for their vividly colored flowers, strasburgeria utilizes these bright blooms not only to attract pollinators but also to compete in the crowded understory.
