Euphrasia Nemorosa Var. Curta

Euphrasia nemorosa var. curta is a lesser-known member of the Orobanchaceae family that thrives in shaded woodland environments. This variant of the common eyebright is distinguished by its shorter stature and dense clusters of small, yellowish flowers. It is often found in moist, nutrient-rich soils across parts of Europe and western Asia. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting pollinators and maintaining biodiversity in its ecosystem. Its unique characteristics make it a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
