Dicranopygium sp Green is part of the Cyclanthaceae family, which includes unique plants often overlooked by ornamental horticulture. It is adapted as a facultative rheophyte, meaning it can survive floods and partial submersion while anchored to rocks around flowing water.
These plants are monocots, similar to palms, but they belong to the Pandanales order. Unlike palms, they are terrestrial and thrive in shaded areas of warm, wet forests across the New World tropics.
