Hieracium Callichlorum Subsp. Rigidellum

Hieracium callichlorum subsp. rigidellum is a lesser-known member of the dandelion family known for its distinctive appearance and ecological significance. Found primarily in specific regions of Europe, this plant thrives in rocky and coastal environments where few others can survive. Its rigid, upright stems and bright yellow flowers make it easily identifiable among similar species. Despite its modest size, it plays a vital role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining biodiversity. Studying this subspecies offers insights into plant adaptation and resilience in challenging habitats.
