Scorzoneroides Helvetica

Helvetian scorzoneroides, scientifically known as Scorzoneroides helvetica, is a rare and unique flowering plant native to the alpine regions of Europe. This species is characterized by its delicate, hairy leaves and clusters of small, pale yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in its ecosystem, supporting various pollinators and contributing to the biodiversity of high-altitude habitats. Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to environmental changes, it is considered a species of conservation concern. Its study offers valuable insights into the adaptation strategies of plants in extreme climates.
