Descurainia Richardsonii Var. Procera

Descurainia richardsonii var. procera is a lesser-known member of the Brassicaceae family, commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions of western North America. This plant is characterized by its tall, erect stems and clusters of small, yellow flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in sandy or gravelly soils and is often overlooked due to its modest appearance. Despite its simplicity, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecosystem balance. Its resilience to harsh conditions makes it a valuable species for ecological studies and restoration projects.
