Haplopappus Acaulis Subsp. Glabratus

Haplopappus acaulis subsp. glabratus is a unique and striking plant native to the arid regions of western North America. It is characterized by its compact, cushion-like growth form and silvery-gray foliage that reflects the harsh desert sun. This subspecies is particularly adapted to survive in extreme conditions with minimal water and nutrient availability. Its small, pale flowers bloom in late spring, adding a subtle yet elegant touch to its otherwise austere appearance. Despite its resilience, it remains a rare and often overlooked member of the Asteraceae family.
