Dusty Daisies of the Southwest: Exploring the Unique Beauty of Zygadenus

Zygadenus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the "dusty daisies". They are native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The name Zygadenus comes from the Greek words "zygos", meaning "paired" and "aden", meaning "gland", referring to the paired glands on the flowers.

There are about 10 species of Zygadenus, which are characterized by their small, daisy-like flowers and their ability to tolerate dry conditions. They are often found growing in rocky or sandy soils in deserts and other dry areas. Some species of Zygadenus are considered to be endangered due to habitat loss and overgrazing.
