Gentiana Golowninia

Golownin's gentian, scientifically known as Gentiana golowninia, is a rare and striking flower native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas. This species belongs to the gentian family, known for its vibrant blue and violet blooms that thrive in cool, moist environments. Its unique appearance and limited distribution make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike. The plant is often found in rocky slopes and alpine meadows, where it adapts to harsh climatic conditions. Due to habitat loss and climate change, Golownin's gentian faces increasing threats to its survival.
