Minuartia Macrocarpa Subsp. Koreana

Minuartia macrocarpa subsp. koreana is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Korea. It belongs to the family Caryophyllaceae and is known for its small, pinkish-white flowers that bloom in late spring. This subspecies is characterized by its compact growth habit and hairy leaves that help it survive in harsh alpine conditions. Due to habitat loss and climate change, it faces increasing threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique and beautiful plant from extinction.
