Pegaeophyton

Pegaeophyton thrives in alpine environments, exhibiting remarkable adaptations to cold, harsh conditions. This compact, low-growing plant typically forms dense, cushion-like clumps. Its small, fleshy leaves are adapted to store moisture, making it well-suited to rocky soils with limited water. The leaves often display a bluish or greenish tinge, which helps to absorb sunlight efficiently at high altitudes.
