Libinhania rosulata is a cushion plant, but appears here to be a small tree! This is deceptive as as closer look reveals it’s two species, where the libinhania rosulata is growing atop a dead and unknown species.
How the libinhania rosulata has been able to grow for so long atop another plant is really interesting as it would not likely be possible without the readily available water in the form of mist, fog and rain here at around 1500 meters altitude atop Socotra.
Endemic.
