Silene mollissima subsp. velutina is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to specific regions of southern Africa. It is known for its soft, velvety foliage and small, pale pink blooms that appear in early spring. This subspecies thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and requires a cool, humid environment to flourish. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered endangered and is the subject of conservation efforts. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study.
