spiny false fiddleleaf
Hydrolea spinosa L.
Hydrolea spinosa L., commonly known as spiny false fiddleleaf, is a plant species in the family Hydroleaceae. It was first described by Linnaeus in 1753. Due to the absence of material in the LINN herbarium, Davenport noted this issue in 1988, and Barrie later designated a neotype for the species. The plant is native to regions across the Nearctic and Neotropical zones, including parts of Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, and Colombia.
