Silene Glaucifolia Subsp. Pseudoviscosa

Silene glaucifolia subsp. pseudoviscosa is a lesser-known member of the Caryophyllaceae family, known for its unique floral structure and ecological significance. This subspecies is native to specific regions in western North America, where it thrives in rocky and arid environments. Its distinguishing features include pale blue to lavender flowers and a hairy, glandular stem that aids in water retention. Despite its modest appearance, it plays a vital role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining biodiversity. Conservation efforts are increasingly important to protect this rare and fragile plant from habitat loss and climate change.
