Mariscus Tristis
Mariscus tristis is a rare and enigmatic plant native to the rocky coastlines of southern California. It thrives in harsh, sun-scorched environments where few other species can survive. This low-growing succulent is known for its thick, fleshy leaves that store water and its delicate, pale flowers that bloom in late spring. Due to habitat loss and climate change, it faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique and vulnerable species.
