Cheilanthes Hirta Var. Hyaloglandulosa

Cheilanthes hirta var. hyaloglandulosa is a unique fern species native to arid regions of western North America. It thrives in rocky and sandy soils where most plants struggle to survive. This variety is distinguished by its hairy leaves and specialized glandular structures that aid in water retention. Its resilience makes it a valuable subject for studying plant adaptations to harsh environments. The plant's ecological role and conservation status are increasingly important in the face of climate change.
