Gossypium darwinii is a species of cotton plant hailing from the Galápagos Islands, displaying small yellowish flowers that nestle among broad, heart-shaped leaves. Adapted to a harsh, isolated environment, its robust nature allows it to withstand salinity and drought. The seeds of gossypium darwinii are enclosed in a unique, beaked capsule, which opens up to expose fluffy, white fibers, crucial for its dispersal.
