Bunium Macuca Subsp. Atlanticum

Bunium macuca subsp. atlanticum is a lesser-known member of the Apiaceae family known for its aromatic properties and medicinal uses. Found primarily in coastal regions of the Atlantic, this plant thrives in sandy and well-drained soils. Its distinctive appearance includes narrow, fern-like leaves and small, yellowish flowers that bloom in late spring. The plant has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for its potential anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Despite its ecological and historical significance, it remains underappreciated in modern botanical studies.
