Centaurium Centaurioides Subsp. Malzacianum

Centaurium centaurioides subsp. malzacianum is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to specific regions of southern Europe. It is known for its striking red-orange flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. This subspecies is often found in rocky or gravelly soils along riverbanks and mountain slopes. Its name is derived from the ancient Greek myth of the centaur, reflecting its mythical allure. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, it is now considered endangered and requires conservation efforts to survive.
