... that Brachystelma tumakurense was discovered in 2017 when when deficient rainfall caused grasses surrounding the plant to grow shorter than usual? Source: "About 16–18 individuals in one population were found growing amongst grasses, mainly Cymbopogon spp., in a southern moist mixed forest. The plants were distinctly visible since grasses had not attained their usual height owing to low rainfall in the year 2017." (PDF at Internet Archive)
- ALT1:... that Brachystelma tumakurense's stem is so weak that it sometimes bends under the weight of leaves and flowers? Source: "...some similarities exist between B. nallamalayanum K.Prasad & B.R.P.Rao, and the new species in having terete, weak, erect stems often bent due to the weight of leaves and flowers..."
