Morongia Horridula

Morongia horridula is a striking member of the Asteraceae family known for its spiky, bristly appearance. Native to the arid regions of southern Africa, this plant has adapted to thrive in harsh, dry environments. Its unique morphology includes dense, hair-like structures that give it a rugged and almost intimidating look. Despite its rough exterior, Morongia horridula plays an important role in its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various insects and small animals. This resilient plant is a fascinating example of nature's ability to evolve in response to extreme conditions.
