Descurainia Deserticola

Desert mustard, scientifically known as Descurainia deserticola, is a resilient flowering plant native to arid and semi-arid regions of the western United States. It thrives in harsh environments with minimal water and extreme temperature fluctuations. This plant is characterized by its small, yellow flowers and narrow, grass-like leaves that help reduce water loss. Despite its tough conditions, it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and providing food for desert wildlife. Its adaptability makes it an important species in ecological studies of desert ecosystems.
