Dortmanna xalapensis, scientifically known as Dortmanna xalapensis, is a rare and unique species of flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Mexico. It belongs to the family Apiaceae, which includes familiar plants like carrots and parsley, yet it possesses distinct morphological features that set it apart. This plant is characterized by its small, delicate flowers and its ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soils, making it a fascinating subject for botanical study. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, Dortmanna xalapensis is considered endangered, highlighting the need for conservation efforts. Its existence underscores the importance of preserving biodiversity in fragile ecosystems.
