Eriogonum Acaule Var. Longilobum

Eriogonum longilobum, scientifically known as Eriogonum acaule var. longilobum, is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the western United States. It belongs to the Polygonaceae family, commonly referred to as the buckwheat family, and is characterized by its unique morphology and ecological significance. This plant is often found in dry, open habitats such as grasslands and rocky slopes, where it thrives in nutrient-poor soils. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species, making conservation efforts essential for its survival. Its distinctive appearance and ecological role make it a valuable subject for botanical study and environmental preservation.
