Oxytropis Candicans

Oxytropis candicans is a striking legume native to the arid regions of western North America. Known for its tall spires of bright yellow flowers, it thrives in harsh desert environments. This plant is often found in gravelly soils and rocky slopes where few other species can survive. Its scientific name reflects its attractive appearance and its ability to withstand extreme conditions. Oxytropis candicans plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecological balance in its habitat.
