Gaillonia Calcicola

Gaillonia calcicola is a rare and enigmatic plant species native to the arid regions of southern Africa. It thrives in harsh, calcium-rich soils and is often found in rocky outcrops and limestone formations. This plant is characterized by its compact growth habit and small, waxy leaves that help it conserve moisture. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered vulnerable to environmental changes. Studying Gaillonia calcicola offers insights into plant adaptation strategies in extreme conditions.
