Hesperastragalus Dispermus
Desert milkvetch, scientifically known as Hesperastragalus dispermus, is a rare and resilient plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This legume thrives in harsh desert environments, where it adapts to extreme temperatures and limited water availability. Its small, yellow flowers bloom in the spring, adding a fleeting touch of color to the otherwise barren landscape. Despite its delicate appearance, the plant possesses deep root systems that help it survive in nutrient-poor soils. Due to habitat loss and climate change, Hesperastragalus dispermus is considered threatened, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
