Pugetia Pulverulenta

Pugetia pulverulenta is a rare and enigmatic plant native to the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest. This diminutive species thrives in harsh, wind-swept environments where few other plants can survive. Its unique characteristics include a delicate, powdery coating that helps it retain moisture in arid conditions. Despite its small size, it plays a crucial role in stabilizing fragile coastal soils. Researchers are increasingly studying this plant to better understand its ecological significance and conservation needs.
