Picris Hieracioides Subsp. Kamtschatica

Kamtschate goldenweed, scientifically known as Picris hieracioides subsp. kamtschatica, is a rare and distinctive plant native to the mountainous regions of eastern Siberia and northern Japan. This subspecies is characterized by its bright yellow flowers and finely divided leaves, which give it a striking appearance in its natural habitat. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine and subalpine environments. Due to its limited distribution and specific ecological requirements, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique plant from habitat loss and environmental changes.
