Packera Quercetorum

Packera quercetorum is a delicate yet resilient flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of western North America. It thrives in high-altitude environments where few species can survive, often growing in rocky soils and open meadows. Known for its showy yellow flowers, this plant plays a vital role in pollination and ecosystem health. Its scientific name reflects its association with oak-like habitats, though it is not closely related to oaks. Despite its beauty, Packera quercetorum remains a relatively understudied species in the botanical world.
