Hechtia myriantha

Hechtia myriantha is a striking bromeliad characterized by its rosette of stiff, narrow leaves. The leaves have a silver-green color and a tough, toothed edge that helps defend against herbivores and reduce evaporation in its arid habitat. Small white flowers emerge, contrasting against the foliage, and play a part in the plant's adaptation to attract pollinators in its challenging environment.
