Comesperma

Comesperma is characterized by its vibrant, typically blue or violet flowers, which are a defining feature. This slender, erect perennial plant often thrives in well-drained, sandy soils, commonly found in open forests and heathlands. Its narrow leaves and long, thin stems contribute to a delicate appearance, which is visually striking yet functionally adapted to its dry, nutrient-poor habitats.
