Gentiana Brachyphylla Subsp. Favratii

Short-leaved gentian, scientifically known as Gentiana brachyphylla subsp. favratii, is a rare and striking member of the gentian family found primarily in alpine regions of Europe. This subspecies is characterized by its compact stature and vivid blue to violet flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in rocky soils and high-altitude habitats, often growing in remote and poorly accessible areas. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered vulnerable to environmental changes and human activity. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this beautiful and ecologically significant plant.
