Dryopetalon Palmeri

Dryopetalon palmeri is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the deserts of the southwestern United States. It is known for its unique, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of yellow and orange. This species thrives in arid environments, adapting to extreme temperatures and limited water availability. Its name honors the botanist John G. Palmer, who contributed significantly to its discovery and study. Despite its beauty, Dryopetalon palmeri remains a critically endangered species due to habitat loss and climate change.
