Erica Trimera Subsp. Elgonensis

Erica trimera subsp. elgonensis is a rare and endemic plant species found primarily in the high-altitude regions of East Africa. It belongs to the heath family, ericaceae, and is known for its compact growth habit and distinctive floral characteristics. This subspecies thrives in nutrient-poor soils and requires specific microclimatic conditions to flourish. Due to its limited distribution and habitat fragility, it faces significant conservation challenges. Understanding and protecting Erica trimera subsp. elgonensis is crucial for preserving biodiversity in its native ecosystems.
