Pritzelago Alpina Subsp. Austroalpina

Alpine pritzelago, scientifically known as Pritzelago alpina subsp. austroalpina, is a rare and hardy flowering plant found in high-altitude regions of Europe. This subspecies thrives in rocky and alpine environments, often growing in sparse vegetation on mountain slopes. Its distinctive yellow flowers bloom in early summer, adding a splash of color to otherwise bleak landscapes. The plant is adapted to cold climates and can withstand strong winds and low temperatures. Due to its limited habitat, it is considered a vulnerable species requiring conservation efforts to ensure its survival.
