👉 Cicindelidia is a type of flowering plant, typically native to the South American Andes region. It grows in dense shrubland or forest, and its leaves are usually arranged in a leafless stem that is often covered with spines. The flowers are typically small, pinkish, and have five petals, and they bloom from September to March. Cicindelidia is considered an important part of the Andean ecosystem due to their role in pollination and seed dispersal.
