Astragalus Lentiginosus Var. Wilsonii

Astragalus lentiginosus var. wilsonii is a rare and delicate wildflower native to the mountainous regions of western North America. It is known for its small, showy purple or pink blooms that appear in late spring. This variant of Astragalus is particularly prized by botanists and conservationists due to its limited distribution and ecological significance. The plant thrives in dry, rocky soils and is often found in alpine or subalpine habitats. Its unique characteristics make it an important species for studying plant adaptation and biodiversity in fragile ecosystems.
