Acetosella Imbricata

Acetosella imbricata is a small, low-growing plant native to the mountainous regions of Europe and western Asia. It is commonly known as the rock sorrel and is often found in rocky soils and alpine environments. This species is characterized by its delicate, trifoliate leaves and clusters of small, yellow flowers that bloom in early spring. It is a member of the Caryophyllaceae family, which includes many other flowering plants with similar growth habits. Despite its modest appearance, Acetosella imbricata plays an important ecological role in its native habitats.
