Kopsiopsis hookeri
The small ground-cone is a unique plant that looks like a tiny cone sitting on the ground. It has a special way of growing in shady places, making it a little treasure to find in the wild!
Hábitat: Forests
The small ground-cone is a stout, reddish-brown to purplish-brown fleshy stalk emerging directly from the forest floor. It has overlapping, scale-like bracts that give it a distinctive cone-like appearance. Unlike most plants, it totally lacks green leaves, with small, pale yellow or cream tubular flowers emerging from its upper scales.
