Psoralea imbricata

Psoralea imbricata is a resilient flowering plant with an impressive ability to thrive in tough conditions. Its leaves are uniquely overlapped, almost like shingles on a roof, an adaptation that may help conserve moisture. The small, yet striking, pea-like flowers contribute to its charm, hinting at its membership in the legume family. This interplay of form and function makes psoralea imbricata both distinctive and enduring in its native landscape.
