Bupleurum Gerardi Subvar. Jacquinianum

Bupleurum gerardi subvar. jacquinianum is a lesser-known member of the Apiaceae family found primarily in the eastern United States. This herbaceous plant is characterized by its slender stems and finely divided leaves that resemble those of its relatives. It typically grows in moist, shaded habitats such as woodlands and stream banks. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and soil health. Due to habitat loss, it is considered a vulnerable species requiring conservation efforts.
