Adesmia bedwellii
aus Degupedia, der freien Wissensdatenbank
Varilla (Adesmia bedwellii Skottsb.[1] (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/ild-11213)) ist eine Adesmia-Art und gehört zur Familie der Fabaceae.
Die Pflanze ist in Chile beheimatet und kommt unter anderem im Fray Jorge Nationalpark vor.
Die Pflanze ist fähig, ebenso wie Porlieria chilensis und Proustia cuneifolia mit ihren Wurzeln Wasser aus tieferen, feuchteren Erdschichten an die Oberfläche zu transportieren (hydraulic lifter), und so zu feuchteren Bodenbedingungen zu führen (Muñoz et al. 2008).
