Lomatium Orogenioides

Orogenic lomatium, scientifically known as Lomatium orogenioides, is a rare and unique plant native to the high elevations of the Pacific Northwest. This member of the Apiaceae family is distinguished by its striking yellow flowers and hairy, lobed leaves. Found primarily in alpine meadows and rocky slopes, it thrives in harsh, cold environments. Due to its limited range and sensitivity to habitat disruption, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this rare botanical treasure.
