Dorstenia
Stock photos of plants of the genus Dorstenia, a group of around 170 species of evergreen perennials, usually tuberous, found in the American and African tropics, with a few species in India. They form clumps of oval to lance-shaped, sometimes with toothed edges. In cultivation they are usually treated as novelties because of the unusual way the flowers are borne. They are very small and are embedded in a flat, fleshy receptacle held at the end of a stem. The edges of the receptacle may be wavy or lobed. Outside the tropics Dorstenia is most often seen as a house or greenhouse plant.
