Tragacantha Macrostachys

Tragacantha macrostachys is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of the Middle East and parts of North Africa. Known for its unique, spiny stems and clusters of delicate yellow flowers, it thrives in harsh, dry environments. This species is highly valued for its latex, which has been traditionally used in medicine and as a binding agent. Its resilience and beauty make it a subject of both scientific interest and botanical admiration. Despite its hardy nature, it remains a challenging plant to cultivate outside its natural habitat.
