Parry's tetracoccus

Parry's tetracoccus is a dioecious shrub, meaning it has distinct male and female plants, essential for its reproductive strategy. Typically found in arid environments, parry's tetracoccus has evolved small, waxy leaves to minimize water loss, and its sparse, woody form helps it withstand dry conditions. The presence of bright red berries on female plants provides a visual cue for identification.
