Pilosella Tubulata Subsp. Pseudocymiflora

Goatweed, scientifically known as Pilosella tubulata subsp. pseudocymiflora, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine meadows and open slopes. Its distinguishing feature is its fluffy, white to pale yellow flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. Despite its beauty, Goatweed is highly sensitive to environmental changes and is considered a threatened species due to habitat loss and climate shifts. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique plant for future generations.
