Parnassia Cordata

Cordate parnassia, scientifically known as Parnassia cordata, is a striking member of the buttercup family native to the alpine regions of Asia. This delicate plant is characterized by its heart-shaped leaves and showy, white flowers that resemble those of true buttercups. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in mountainous areas with well-drained soil. Due to its limited distribution and fragile habitat, it is considered a rare and vulnerable species. Its unique beauty and ecological significance make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike.
