Description:
Hydnophytum formicarum is an epiphyte native to Southeast Asia, known for its symbiotic relationship with ants. The plant's caudex provides shelter for ants, which in turn supply nutrients through defecation. It features dark leaves, bright orange berries, and thrives in open-canopied areas and rainforests.
