Styphelia Retrorsa

Styphelia retrorsa is a rare and delicate evergreen shrub native to the wet heathlands of southeastern Australia. It is characterized by its small, urn-shaped flowers that bloom in late winter and early spring. This plant thrives in acidic, well-drained soils and requires cool, moist conditions to flourish. Due to habitat loss and climate change, Styphelia retrorsa is now classified as endangered. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its survival in the wild.
