Scorzonera Laciniata Subsp. Decumbens

Laciniated scorzonera, scientifically known as Scorzonera laciniata subsp. decumbens, is a rare and distinctive plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is characterized by its finely divided, fern-like leaves and striking yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. This subspecies thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine meadows at high elevations. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from climate change and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserve this unique botanical specimen for future generations.
