Fendlera Rupicola Var. Falcata

Fendler's falcate, scientifically known as Fendlera rupicola var. falcata, is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States. This variant of Fendlera rupicola is distinguished by its long, curved leaves that give it a unique, almost sculptural appearance. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is adapted to withstand extreme heat and drought. Despite its resilience, it is considered endangered due to habitat loss and over-collection. Its beauty and ecological significance make it a valuable subject for conservation efforts.
