Claytonia Megarhiza Var. Nivalis

Claytonia megarhiza var. nivalis is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the high-altitude regions of the western United States. It thrives in cold, moist environments and is often found in alpine meadows and rocky slopes. This variant of Claytonia megarhiza is distinguished by its small, white flowers and short, succulent-like leaves. Due to its limited range and sensitivity to environmental changes, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique plant from habitat loss and climate change.
