Mariscus Dubius

Mariscus dubius is a rare and elusive plant native to the rocky coastlines of southern California. It thrives in harsh, saline environments where few other species can survive. Its small, fleshy leaves are adapted to store water and withstand strong ocean winds. The plant's flowers, which appear in late spring, are pale green and often overlooked due to their subtle appearance. Despite its delicate beauty, Mariscus dubius remains a mystery to many botanists and conservationists alike.
