Decalobanthus Pacificus

Decalobanthus pacificus is a rare and enigmatic flowering plant native to the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest. This delicate species is known for its unique, bell-shaped blooms that appear in late summer. Despite its beauty, it remains poorly understood by botanists due to its limited distribution and elusive nature. Found primarily in moist, shaded habitats along rocky shores, it thrives in conditions few other plants can. Its survival is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and climate change, making conservation efforts crucial for its future.
