A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Myristicaceae sp.
The richness of the forests is best told by its wildlife and varied habitats that lie within. It is a seed which grows into tall trees creating some unique ecosystems. Sharing a seed from one unique habitat known as the Myristica freshwater swamp which is named after the family of Myristicacae (Nutmeg) trees. These trees are one of the most primitive known species of flowering plants and are one of the key species of the swamps.
The Myristica swamps are one of the critically endangered habitats endemic to the Western Ghats.
