Senecio Masatierrae

Masatierra senecio, scientifically known as Senecio masatierrae, is a rare and striking plant native to the mountainous regions of South America. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, which includes daisies and sunflowers, and is characterized by its unique, spiny foliage and delicate yellow flowers. This plant thrives in high-altitude environments, often growing in rocky or sandy soils where few other species can survive. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered endangered and is the subject of conservation efforts. Its distinctive appearance and ecological significance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study and preservation.
