Minuartia Imbricata

Minuartia imbricata is a small, flowering plant commonly found in rocky and sandy soils across arid and semi-arid regions. It belongs to the family Caryophyllaceae and is known for its delicate, star-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of white and pink. This species is often referred to as the "sand-flower" due to its preference for coastal and desert environments. Its ability to thrive in harsh conditions makes it an important indicator of ecological health in such habitats. Despite its modest appearance, Minuartia imbricata plays a vital role in supporting local insect populations and stabilizing soil in fragile ecosystems.
