Cliffortia crenata

Cliffortia crenata is an adaptable shrub, known for its small, serrated, evergreen leaves that cluster densely on its branches, resembling a vibrant green cushion. Its habitat often molds its form, thriving in rocky, mountainous landscapes where it can secure its roots firmly. Unique wave-like leaf margins are a signature trait, aiding in water retention—crucial for survival in such harsh terrains.
