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.
