Uvifera Flavescens

Yellow sandmat, scientifically known as Uvifera flavescens, is a resilient plant that thrives in arid and semi-arid environments. It is characterized by its yellowish-green foliage and unique, sand-like seed pods that give it its common name. Native to regions across the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, this plant has adapted to harsh desert conditions. Its ability to store water and withstand extreme temperatures makes it an important species in desert ecosystems. Despite its hardy nature, the Yellow sandmat remains a lesser-known yet ecologically significant plant.
