Description

Boquila trifoliolata is a member of the Lardizabalaceae family, a group of flowering plants commonly known as the Saururaceae or Lardizabala family. This species is distributed across Argentina South, as well as the central and southern regions of Chile. It was formally published in 1839 and is part of the genus Boquila, which includes several climbing vine species. The plant is adapted to the temperate climates of its native range and is characterized by its climbing growth habit and trifoliate leaves. As with other members of the genus, it is likely to exhibit morphological plasticity, a trait observed in some Boquila species where leaves can change shape depending on the host plant.
