Scientific advisor: Ana María Bedoya, biologist specialized in Podostemaceae, a family of aquatic plants to which Macarenia clavigera belongs

Singular life forms have emerged in isolated geographies, from the interaction of the specific conditions it hosts. The endemic plant “Macarenia clavigera” grows on the westernmost part of the Guiana Shield, the oldest exposed rock formation on the surface of the South-American continent, shared between the Guianas, Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia. The surface of this rock is molded with shapes that evoke the movement of waves of the ocean that once covered them. Only where water touches these rocks and flows again over them does this plant flourish.
