Micranthes Aestivalis

Aestival micranthes, scientifically known as Micranthes aestivalis, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to specific regions of North America. This member of the sunflower family, Asteraceae, is characterized by its small, clustered blooms and finely divided leaves. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in local ecosystems by supporting pollinators and contributing to biodiversity. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, it faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique species for future generations.
