Medicago Pourretii

Medicago pourretii is a rare and resilient legume native to the arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa. This plant thrives in harsh environments with limited water and nutrient availability. Its unique adaptations include deep root systems and the ability to fix nitrogen from the air. Despite its ecological importance, it remains poorly studied and underappreciated in botanical research. Understanding Medicago pourretii could offer valuable insights into plant survival strategies in extreme climates.
