Stephanocarpus Monspeliensis

Stephanocarpus monspeliensis is a rare and ancient plant species native to the limestone regions of southern Europe. It is known for its unique appearance and its ability to thrive in harsh, calcareous soils. This plant is often referred to as the "limestone plant" due to its preference for rocky and alkaline environments. Its delicate leaves and small, pale flowers make it a striking addition to any botanical garden. Despite its beauty, it remains a poorly understood and endangered species in the wild.
