The Cuphea Lineare is an uncommon, modest plant and can be found only in some savannas. It blooms in late spring. It has small, lobed leaves, which are usually blue-green. It also grows large flowers, which can be dark brown, dark pink and blue. These plants grow separated by a fair distance from each other, but it's extremely difficult to control and maintain their growth. They can be used to treat wounds. As a defense mechanism the Cuphea Lineare grows tiny thorns. They rely on self pollination to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow small, inedible nuts.
