- Agapetes buxifolia — A shrub species in the genus Agapetes, native to the mountainous regions of Northeast India (Assam) and Bhutan, characterized by small, oval, evergreen leaves that structurally resemble those of boxwood (Buxus), and bright red tubular flowers, often solitary or grouped in small fascicles. Structurally, the plant develops a swollen lignotuber at the base for water storage and is grown in greenhouses as a spectacular botanical rarity.
