Bunga Kertas

There are so many ornamental plants in this world that spread their beauty charms, whether they grow wild or they are deliberately cultivated by ornamental plant lovers. One example is "Bunga Kertas" or in English called "Bungenville". In one of the books entitled "Flora Unik: 2017" which explains at length but I conclude as follows, Paper flowers are a popular type of ornamental plant, these plants have small shapes that are difficult to grow upright and have very diverse colors, from red, white , yellow and others. This paper flower plant comes from South America, which is found in someone's yard. However, in this era, these beautiful flowers are found everywhere, especially in Indonesia, they are often found in everyone's homes.  ### **Scientific classification of Bungenville flowers**

Then also argued that this paper flower plant is also in the relatives of Nytaginaceae with the order Caryophylales which has a form of flower sheath that is not thick and almost resembles paper because of its thin and flat shape.  To understand the characteristics of this paper flower in detail, let's follow the explanation below: **1. Root** When you pull out this flower, from the ground, you will see its roots grow vertically, stringy, and widen. Rooting this paper flower will penetrate the soil surface to reach a depth of 50-80 cm and will sometimes reach deeper depending on the flower variety itself.  **2. Stem** While this flower stem is like what experts say like,

Shrub paper flowers, perpendicular to reach a height of 2-3 m even more, with a smooth surface to rough and brownish in color. In addition, the stem is also woody, round and elongated and has small spines and has many branches.

 **3. Flower** Speaking of the leaves, of course, at first glance it almost resembles other plants, but of course there are differences between them, such as quotes from the Unique Flora Book. This flower consists of several types including stalks, flower tents, pistil heads, stems of pistils, stamens and stalks of sari. This flower usually appears on (leaf armpit), with a pluralistic or neatly arranged shape as in the picture.

This paper flower is also arranged in stem-stemmed umbrellas with 1-7 tillers, each of which has 3 flowers. In general, paper flowers have colors that are very diverse ranging from white, red easy and old, orange, bronze and others.

 **4. Leaf** Then the leaves are paper-shaped long oval rounds,

with a length of 1-4 cm, the edges of the surface of the leaves are flat, pinnate pinnacles between 3-5 and more, and also the leaves are greenish to old. The leaves of this plant also have a short series of 0.5-1 cm long brownish color.
