Los Amigos Jungle Cucumbers: A Study of Five Sympatric Gurania Species Amanda K. Neill The New York Botanical Garden Figure 12 Gurania bignoniacea prefers to grow in soggy ravines, thriving even with its roots growing in the mud under flowing streams. This species is the only one of the five at Los Amigos that has compound (trifoliolate) leaves. Both the leaves and stems are slightly hairy, and the inflorescences and flowers are tiny compared to the other species at the station. Previous | Next Photos by Mathias Tobler and Amanda Neill
