Q. Phawngpui National Park, recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Mizoram
Notes: A new hemi-parasitic terrestrial plant, Phtheirospermum lushaiorum, was discovered in Mizoram's Phawngpui National Park. Lacking a fully developed root system, it connects to host plants for water and minerals but can photosynthesize and grow independently to some extent. Flowering occurs from July to September, with fruits produced from August to October. The species is named after the Lushai tribe of Mizoram.
