The lipstick tree, known scientifically as Bixa orellana, is typically found in the understory layer of the rainforest. This layer is characterized by lower light levels and is home to various shrubs and small trees. The lipstick tree thrives in this environment, where it can grow and produce its distinctive, brightly colored seed pods that contain the natural dye known as annatto.
