👉 Epimachinae is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to South America. The specific name "epimach" means "from the top," referring to the position where the leaves are positioned on the stem. These plants have a single, large leaf called an epiphyllum, which grows from the center of the plant and extends along the stem in all directions, forming a network of branches. They produce flowers that are often arranged in clusters or in groups
