Omalotheca Afghanica

Omalotheca afghanica is a rare and lesser-known flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Afghanistan. It belongs to the Apiaceae family, which includes carrots and parsley, and is characterized by its delicate, umbel-like flower clusters. Despite its botanical significance, it remains poorly studied due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity. The plant thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, often found in rocky soils at high altitudes. Its unique features make it an important subject for botanical research and conservation efforts.
