Description
Phyllanthus mirabilis is a caudex-forming plant native to northern Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. It stores water in its thick, short stem to survive the dry seasons in its native habitat. It is an extremely unusual member of the genus Phyllanthus , being the only species in this genus to form a woody caudex. For comparison, another species in this genus is, for example, the floating plant Phyllanthus fluitans .
Another special feature is that it folds its feathery, pink and green leaves together at night, during periods of drought or excessive heat.
In winter, it usually loses all its leaves and survives only as a trunk. In spring, however, it quickly sprouts again.
May be shipped without leaves in winter!
