Saxifraga Flagellaris Subsp. Crandallii

Crandall's saxifrage, scientifically known as Saxifraga flagellaris subsp. crandallii, is a rare and striking alpine plant native to the rocky highlands of western North America. This subspecies is distinguished by its delicate, clustered flowers and its ability to thrive in harsh, nutrient-poor environments. Found primarily in the Sierra Nevada and other mountain ranges, it is a symbol of resilience in extreme climates. Due to its limited range and habitat specificity, it is considered a conservation concern. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a subject of interest for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
