ID: #572659
Description
Monolena is a genus of flowering plants in the family Melastomataceae. These epiphytic plants grow attached to the branches of trees where they form a caudex that serves as a habitation for ants. These plants form a symbiotic relationship with ants where they provide shelter and in turn the ants bring in food and deposit waste that fertilizes the plant. This species has amazing lancolate leaves that emerge bright red and slowly turn dark green as they mature. *Ant plants do not attract ants they've simply evolved to produce these structures that house ants in their natural habitats.
