Mentzelia Albicaulis Var. Gracilenta

Mentzelia albicaulis var. gracilenta is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States. It is known for its slender stems and small, white to pale yellow flowers that bloom in the early spring. This variant of Mentzelia is often found in rocky soils and dry slopes, where it adapts to harsh environmental conditions. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique plant from threats like habitat loss and climate change.
