Description Top

Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Saussurea laniceps, also known as cotton-headed snow lotus, is a rare plant found only in the Himalayas and parts of southwest China and northern Burma. It grows at high altitudes on alpine scree slopes and is known for its medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine. This herbaceous plant is perennial and monocarpic, meaning it grows slowly and dies after flowering. It is pollinated by two bumblebee species and its reproductive success is not limited by pollen availability. However, the species is threatened by over-exploitation for its medicinal use and as souvenirs. This has led to a decrease in the height of the plant in heavily harvested areas, potentially affecting its seed production. Further studies are needed to understand the consequences of this exploitation on the species.
