Duvalia Sulcata Subsp. Somalensis

Somalian duvalia, scientifically known as Duvalia sulcata subsp. somalensis, is a rare and unique plant endemic to the arid regions of Somalia. This succulent species is characterized by its thick, fleshy stems and striking, spiky leaves that help it survive in harsh desert conditions. Despite its hardy nature, it remains poorly studied and is often overlooked in botanical research. Its limited distribution and fragile habitat make it a vulnerable species in need of conservation efforts. The Somalian duvalia holds significant ecological value and represents a fascinating example of adaptation to extreme environments.
