Delphinastrum Andersonii

Anderson's delphinastra, scientifically known as Delphinastrum andersonii, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of southern China. This member of the Apiaceae family is characterized by its slender stems and small, white to pale blue flowers that bloom in early summer. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered endangered and is found in only a few isolated locations. The plant's unique appearance and ecological significance make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists. Its survival depends on protecting its fragile mountain habitat from further degradation.
