Neatostema

Neatostema is characterized by its robust, wiry stems and clusters of petite, vibrant flowers that blossom under the harsh sun of arid landscapes. This resilience is an adaptation to its dry environment, enabling it to thrive where resources are scarce. Its tough, leathery leaves efficiently retain moisture, a critical feature for survival in its native, rugged terrains.
