Slender false pennyroyal

Also known as: Annual mock-pennyroyal

Slender false pennyroyal is characterized by its small, yet robust stature, often not exceeding a few feet in height. It brandishes delicate, needle-like leaves that have adapted to conserve moisture in its typically arid native habitats. This resilient flora bears petite flowers, usually with a subtle hue, which are strategically evolved to attract specific pollinators. The unassuming appearance of slender false pennyroyal belies its hardiness and ecological niche.
