scientific name

Zornia subsessilis
status

 

Zornia subsessilis View in CoL has a xylopodium, which enables it to regenerate after fire. In regions where human-induced fires are prevalent and for a species with a limited distribution, the presence of this adaptive trait is vital for its survival. However, despite this characteristic, there are concerns over the longer-term survival of the species.
