Verticordia Acerosa Var. Preissii

Red-stemmed featherflower, scientifically known as Verticordia acerosa var. preissii, is a rare and striking plant native to Western Australia. It is characterized by its vivid red stems and delicate, feathery flower clusters that bloom in late winter. This unique species thrives in nutrient-poor soils and is often found in heathlands and rocky outcrops. Its limited distribution and specialized habitat make it a vulnerable species facing environmental threats. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this rare botanical gem.
