👉 Cryptoperla is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to several tropical regions including South America and the Caribbean. These plants are known for their unique and distinctive flowers with large, delicate petals that resemble the shape of a butterfly's wings. The fruit is usually a small, oblong, yellowish-brown capsule filled with seeds. Cryptoperla is primarily found in dry forests, but it can also grow in wetter habitats like marshes and rivers.
