Athamanta Libanotis Var. Riviniana

Lebanon cedar, scientifically known as Athamanta libanotis var. riviniana, is a rare and ancient tree species native to the eastern Mediterranean region. It is closely related to the more famous Cedrus libani, but it has distinct physical and genetic characteristics. This plant thrives in rocky and mountainous environments, often growing in harsh climates with limited water availability. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the Lebanon cedar faces significant threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this emblematic species for future generations.
