Anthyllis Gandogeri

Gandogeri burr clover, scientifically known as Anthyllis gandogeri, is a rare and endemic plant species found exclusively in the high-altitude regions of the Italian Alps. This small, herbaceous plant is characterized by its distinctive burr-like seed pods and delicate, trifoliate leaves. Thriving in harsh, rocky environments, it plays a vital role in the local ecosystem by providing nectar for pollinators and stabilizing fragile soil. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the species faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique botanical treasure for future generations.
