Pombalia calceolaria
Pombalia calceolaria is characterized by its striking slipper-shaped flowers, which give it a notable appearance, especially when set against its small, rounded green leaves. These vibrant blooms often thrive in subtropical climates and are frequently found nestled in shaded understories, where they take advantage of the moist, well-drained soil. Adapted for life under a canopy, pombalia calceolaria exhibits a resilience to lower light conditions, making it a captivating, understated gem of the forest floor.
