Leptopyrum

Leptopyrum is characterized by its slender, elongated stems and small, clustered leaves which adapt well to its native rocky and sandy soils. The petite yellow flowers bloom predominantly in the cooler seasons, exploiting brief moisture bursts. This growth strategy allows leptopyrum to thrive in less fertile environments by maximizing water and nutrient absorption during limited periods of availability.
