Tragacantha Polyacantha

Tragacantha polyacantha is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Known for its unique appearance and hardy nature, it thrives in harsh environments where few plants can survive. Its name reflects both its genus and its branching structure, which resembles a thorny crown. This plant has been historically used in traditional medicine for its resinous properties. Despite its beauty and utility, it remains underappreciated and often overlooked in modern botanical studies.
