Melasma scabrum

Melasma scabrum is a robust perennial with dark, rough-textured leaves that contrast its small, pale flowers. Its distinctively scabrous foliage provides a protective adaptation for retaining moisture in arid environments. The resilience and adaptation of melasma scabrum to dry conditions are noteworthy as they enable the plant to survive where others might not.
