Zeia Richardsonii

Zeia richardsonii is a rare and elusive plant found in the arid regions of western North America. It is known for its unique adaptations to survive in harsh, dry environments. This species has a low-growing, cushion-like structure that helps it retain moisture and withstand extreme temperatures. Despite its hardiness, it remains poorly understood due to its limited distribution and difficult habitat. Studying Zeia richardsonii offers valuable insights into plant resilience and ecological adaptation.
