Malesherbia turbinea |
Malesherbia turbinea is a shrub native Candarave, Tacna, Peru. [1] [2] It has been recorded growing near Lake Huananhuata. [3]
It can grow up to 1 meter tall, has "blood-red" flowers and white or yellow anthers. [3] While phenotypically very similar to Malesherbia haemantham, it differs phenotypically in its flowers as they do not have black boarders or black anthers which are observed in M. haemantham. [3]
It is classified as endangered due to its extremely small range. [2]
