Cyrtandra cleopatrae |
Cyrtandra cleopatrae is a species of plant in the family Gesneriaceae endemic to the Philippines. It is a tropical shrub having recaulescent inflorescences composed of multiple purpled flowers that emerge on the plant stem from stubby shoots.[3] It was first collected for science during a 1998[4] expedition sponsored by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh,[3] from a location in Palawan called Cleopatra's Needle[4] (elev. 1550m),[5] thus the specific epithet "cleopatrae". The taxon was first published in the Edinburgh Journal of Botany in 2001.[1]
