Potentilla Lindleyi

Lindley's cinquefoil, scientifically known as Potentilla lindleyi, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the high elevations of western North America. This species is characterized by its bright yellow flowers and hairy stems, which help it survive in harsh mountain environments. It thrives in rocky soils and alpine meadows, often found in regions like California and Nevada. Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to habitat loss, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique and ecologically important plant.
