Description

Aeginetia flava grows as a herb with stems 15–20 centimetres (6–8 in) tall. The flowers, solitary on the stem, feature bright yellow petals. The ovoid fruits are capsules measuring up to 1.4 cm (0.6 in) long.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Aeginetia flava is endemic to Thailand, where it is confined to Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary. Its habitat is in rainforest, at altitudes of 1,400–1,540 m (4,600–5,100 ft). In common with other species of its genus, Aeginetia flava is parasitic. In this population, it attaches to the roots of a Strobilanthes species.[1]

gollark: It isn't *that* good. You need manual handling for it to make sense.
