This subspecies is known for its striking violet to purple flowers and its ability to thrive in harsh, dry environments. It plays an important role in stabilizing soil and supporting local biodiversity in its native habitat. Due to its limited distribution and vulnerability to habitat loss, it is considered a species of conservation concern. Understanding and protecting this plant is essential for preserving the ecological balance of its desert ecosystems.
