Mentzelia Multiflora Subsp. Longiloba

Mentzelia multiflora subsp. longiloba is a striking desert plant known for its vibrant yellow flowers and unique growth habits. It thrives in arid environments, often found in rocky soils and sandy plains across the southwestern United States. This subspecies is distinguished by its elongated floral bracts and dense clusters of blooms that appear in late spring. It plays an important role in local ecosystems by providing nectar for pollinators and shelter for small animals. Due to habitat loss and climate change, it faces increasing threats to its survival.
