Crataegus Laevigata Var. Carnoviensis

Crataegus laevigata var. carnoviensis is a rare and lesser-known subspecies of hawthorn native to the mountainous regions of the Carpathian Basin. This plant is characterized by its small, white flowers and red-orange berries that appear in late summer. It thrives in rocky soils and is often found in forested slopes and alpine environments. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered endangered in many areas. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique botanical variant.
