Tragacantha Eriantha

Caper spurge, scientifically known as Tragacantha eriantha, is a striking and somewhat controversial plant native to southern Africa. With its vibrant yellow flowers and unique, milky sap, it stands out in its natural habitat. Despite its beauty, it is considered invasive in many regions, outcompeting native flora and altering local ecosystems. The plant's resilience and rapid growth make it both a challenge and a subject of ecological study. Its presence highlights the complex balance between natural beauty and environmental impact.
