Azorella hookeri

Azorella hookeri is a low-growing, cushion-forming perennial found in the high altitudes of South America. Its dense, interwoven stems create dome-shaped mounds that protect the plant from harsh winds and cold. Tiny green leaves tightly overlap, conserving moisture, while small yellow flowers bloom close to the foliage, thriving in rocky, alpine environments.
