Cliffortia cuneata

Cliffortia cuneata is a hardy, perennial shrub that thrives in rocky, mountainous terrains. Its small, wedge-shaped leaves and dense, mat-forming growth habit are key adaptations to its windswept habitats. Distinctive reddish stems contrast with the dark green foliage, and its inconspicuous, yellowish flowers bloom close to the leaf axils, enabling pollination in challenging high-elevation climates.
