Brownanthus Marlothii

Marloth's brownanthus, scientifically known as Brownanthus marlothii, is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. This unique species belongs to the Asteraceae family, which includes daisies and sunflowers, and is characterized by its distinctive, spiky inflorescence. Despite its beauty, it remains a little-known plant, often overlooked in botanical discussions due to its limited distribution. Found primarily in rocky outcrops and dry shrublands, it thrives in harsh environments, showcasing remarkable adaptations to survive in drought conditions. Its conservation status is of great concern, as habitat loss and climate change threaten its survival in the wild.
