Phrygilanthus Palmeri

Phrygilanthus palmeri is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States. It is known for its unique, spiny stems and clusters of vibrant yellow flowers that bloom in late spring. This species thrives in harsh desert environments, often growing in rocky soils and sparse vegetation. Its limited distribution and specific habitat requirements make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists. Despite its beauty, Phrygilanthus palmeri remains under-studied and faces threats from habitat loss and climate change.
