Acaena dumicola

Acaena dumicola is a diminutive, perennial ground cover, well-adapted to rocky soils and open scrublands. It features small, divided leaves that form a dense, low mat, and during its flowering period, it produces inconspicuous reddish flowers. Its unique barbed seed heads, which readily cling to passing wildlife, facilitate the widespread dispersal of its seeds, ensuring its resilience and propagation in its native habitat.
