Alguelagum Cordifolium

Heartleaf alguelagum, scientifically known as Alguelagum cordifolium, is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. Its most distinctive feature is its heart-shaped leaves, which give it its common name and make it a standout in any botanical collection. Despite its unique appearance, this plant is highly adapted to survive in harsh, dry environments, relying on specialized root systems to conserve water. It thrives in rocky soils and is often found in coastal and semi-desert habitats. Due to its limited distribution and ecological significance, conservation efforts are essential to protect this remarkable species.
