Linum Austriacum Var. Squamulosum

Austrian flax, scientifically known as Linum austriacum var. squamulosum, is a rare and delicate plant native to the alpine regions of Central Europe. It thrives in cool, moist environments, often found in rocky crevices and shaded forest floors. This species is characterized by its blue or purple flowers and hairy, lance-shaped leaves that give it a unique appearance. Due to its limited habitat and vulnerability to environmental changes, it is considered a conservation concern. Its beauty and ecological significance make it a subject of interest for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
