Thismia ophiuris

Thismia ophiuris is a member of the Burmanniaceae family, a group of flowering plants typically found in tropical regions. The species is part of the genus Thismia, which includes small, often mycoheterotrophic plants. Thismia ophiuris was formally described in 1878 by the botanist Becc. and is known to occur in the region of Borneo. Its distribution is limited to this area, reflecting the localized nature of many Burmanniaceae species.
