Lythrum Candollei

Candolle's lythrum, scientifically known as Lythrum candollei, is a rare and striking member of the Lythraceae family. Native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe, this plant thrives in rocky and well-drained soils. Its vibrant pink to red flowers bloom in summer, creating a dramatic visual display in its natural habitat. Despite its beauty, Lythrum candollei is critically endangered due to habitat loss and over-collection. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and propagate this unique species for future generations.
