Leysera Gnaphaloides

Leysera gnaphaloides is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of South America. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, known for its composite flower heads and medicinal properties. This species thrives in high-altitude environments with cool temperatures and moist soils. Its small, pale yellow flowers bloom in late spring, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Due to habitat loss and climate change, Leysera gnaphaloides is now considered endangered, making conservation efforts critical for its survival.
