Potentilla Jaegeri

Jaeger's cinquefoil, scientifically known as Potentilla jaegeri, is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. This perennial shrub is characterized by its bright yellow flowers and distinctive five-petaled blooms that appear in early summer. It thrives in rocky and alpine environments, often growing in sparse vegetation where few other plants can survive. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from climate change and human encroachment. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique and ecologically important plant.
