Arjona megapotamica (original) (raw)

Arjona megapotamica is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Schoepfiaceae, native to a small area of southeastern Brazil, where it grows in cool mountain grasslands. Like other Arjona species, it is thought to be a root hemiparasite. It is a small perennial plant growing as a bunch of short twigs from a woody central knob. As of December 2021, Arjona schumanniana was regarded by some sources as a synonym, by others as an independent species.
