Hieracium Sparsum Subsp. Peninsulare

Hieracium sparsum subsp. peninsulare is a lesser-known member of the sunflower family native to specific regions of the western United States. This plant is characterized by its delicate yellow flowers and hairy stems, which help it survive in its often harsh environment. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in local ecosystems by providing food for pollinators and supporting biodiversity. Due to habitat loss and climate change, this subspecies faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its continued existence in the wild.
