Ursinia Scariosa

Scaly ursinia, scientifically known as Ursinia scariosa, is a strikingly unique plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. Its name derives from the rough, scaly texture of its leaves, which help it conserve moisture in harsh environments. This succulent plant is often found growing in rocky outcrops and sandy soils, where it thrives under direct sunlight. With its compact, bushy form and clusters of small, vibrant flowers, it stands out as a resilient and beautiful addition to native flora. Due to its adaptability and aesthetic appeal, it has become a popular choice for xeriscaping and conservation efforts in dryland ecosystems.
