Monorchis Unalaschcensis

Alaska buttercup, scientifically known as Monorchis unalaschcensis, is a rare and unique flowering plant native to the rocky alpine regions of Alaska. This delicate species thrives in harsh, cold environments where few plants can survive. Its striking yellow flowers and heart-shaped leaves make it a standout in its ecosystem. Despite its beauty, the Alaska buttercup is critically endangered due to habitat loss and climate change. Conservation efforts are essential to preserve this rare botanical gem for future generations.
