Phippsia Groenlandica

Greenland phippsia, scientifically known as Phippsia groenlandica, is a rare and unique plant species found exclusively in the Arctic regions of Greenland. This flowering plant belongs to the family Apiaceae, commonly known as the carrot or parsley family, and is adapted to thrive in extreme cold and nutrient-poor soils. Despite its limited distribution, it plays a vital role in the local ecosystem by providing food and habitat for specialized insect species. Its delicate appearance and ecological significance make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists. Due to climate change and human activity, Phippsia groenlandica faces increasing threats to its survival.
