Pilosella Arvicola

Pilosella arvicola is a small, delicate flowering plant native to alpine and subalpine regions of Europe. It is commonly known as the alpine hawk's-beard due to its distinctive yellow flower heads and hairy leaves. This plant thrives in rocky soils and open habitats, often found in mountainous areas with cool climates. Its unique appearance and ecological role make it an important species in high-altitude ecosystems. Despite its beauty, Pilosella arvicola is vulnerable to habitat loss and climate change.
