Haplopappus Peirsonii

Peirson's goatweed, scientifically known as Haplopappus peirsonii, is a rare flowering plant native to the arid regions of western North America. This small, annual herb is characterized by its slender stems and tiny, yellowish flowers that bloom in late summer. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in its ecosystem by providing nectar for pollinators and stabilizing soil in harsh environments. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the species faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and study this unique plant to ensure its continued existence.
