Mariscus Boreochrysocephalus

Boreal goldenhead, scientifically known as Mariscus boreochrysocephalus, is a rare and striking plant native to the high-altitude regions of the Andes. This unique species is characterized by its bright yellow flowers that resemble a golden head, giving it its common name. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in rocky or alpine habitats. Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to environmental changes, the Boreal goldenhead is considered endangered. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this remarkable plant from further decline.
