Oxytropis Jarovoji

Jarov's locoweed, scientifically known as Oxytropis jarovoji, is a rare and resilient plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. This legume thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, often found in rocky soils and high-altitude grasslands. Its unique adaptations allow it to survive in harsh climates with minimal water and nutrients. Despite its hardiness, the species faces threats from habitat loss and climate change. Studying Jarov's locoweed provides valuable insights into ecological resilience and biodiversity conservation.
