Arenaria Tetraquetra Var. Pseudoquerioides
Rock sandwort, scientifically known as Arenaria tetraquetra var. pseudoquerioides, is a hardy plant that thrives in rocky and arid environments. It is characterized by its low-growing habit and small, clustered flowers that bloom in early spring. This variety is closely related to the common sandwort but exhibits distinct morphological features. Native to the western United States, it is often found in coastal dunes and mountainous regions. Its resilience makes it an important species for stabilizing fragile ecosystems.
