Seriphidium Bigelowii

Bigelow's wormwood, scientifically known as Seriphidium bigelowii, is a hardy shrub native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This resilient plant thrives in harsh, dry environments where few others can survive, making it a key component of desert ecosystems. With its distinctive silver-green foliage and small yellow flowers, it plays an important role in supporting local wildlife and soil stability. Despite its tough exterior, it has been used traditionally for its medicinal properties by indigenous communities. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions makes it a valuable subject for ecological and botanical study.
