Oreosolen

Oreosolen is a small, alpine plant thriving in the harsh, cold environments of high mountains. Its compact, mat-forming habit helps it conserve heat and resist wind, while its furry leaves reduce water loss and insulate against low temperatures. The flowers of oreosolen are vibrant, often in stark contrast to the rocky substrates they inhabit.
