Procris crenata

Procris crenata is a distinctive, evergreen shrub with glossy, deeply crenated leaves that are resilient to harsh conditions. Its stout, upright stems typically bear clusters of small, white flowers that emerge in the warmer seasons. Thriving in well-drained, rocky soils, procris crenata adeptly adapts to its Mediterranean habitat, forming dense, low-lying thickets that contribute to its ability to conserve moisture and withstand the intense sun.
