Devil Flower Found in Thailand | Science News

Scientists in Thailand just unearthed a bizarre new plant dubbed the “devil flower” — a dark, horned, underground bloom that looks like it crawled out of a horror movie. Found in a high-altitude national park, Thismia daemona defies expectations by thriving where its kind rarely does, pushing the known range of this fungal-feeding genus northward. With only 50 specimens spotted in a tiny area, it’s already critically endangered — especially since it’s nestled in a busy park. Now, researchers are rallying local communities to help protect this eerie beauty, blending conservation with eco-tourism to ensure this underworld blossom doesn’t vanish forever.
