Description
This unique specimen, interpreted as a bonsai, features multiple upright, unbranched stems emerging from a central point, crowned with dense clusters of vibrant yellow, tubular flowers. Its unusual form lacks traditional green foliage, presenting a striking, almost sculptural appearance. As a parasitic plant, its cultivation as a bonsai would be exceptionally challenging.
