👉 Alpid is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae. The name "alpid" comes from the Greek word "alpos", meaning "to spread or spread," and "dipin", which means "spread" or "stretch". In Latin, it was first used to refer to a type of seedling that grew by spreading its roots outwards. Alpid plants are known for their ability to spread themselves through the process of seed dispersal.
