Gaultheria Othmanii

Gaultheria othmanii is a rare and intriguing plant native to the high elevations of the Western Himalayas. It belongs to the Ericaceae family, commonly known as the heath or evergreen shrub family. This species is characterized by its small, leathery leaves and clusters of bell-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in cool, moist environments with well-drained soil, often found in alpine meadows and rocky slopes. Due to its limited distribution and ecological significance, it is considered a valuable subject for botanical research and conservation efforts.
