Scrophularia Rupestris Var. Libanotica

Scrophularia rupestris var. libanotica is a rare and striking plant native to the rocky landscapes of the Levant region. It thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, often growing on limestone or sandstone outcrops. The plant is characterized by its slender stems and clusters of violet to purple flowers that bloom in the spring. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. This unique species offers valuable insights into the adaptation strategies of flora in harsh, Mediterranean climates.
