The smaller plants on top of Socotra were still in good condition, and thus I found flowers in excellent condition compared to the drooping or even dried ones further down the slopes. Had I come a week or so later, even the plants up here would have been drooping, so I was very grateful!
Even so, I had to crawl deep into thickets to find and photograph this trichodesma microcalyx.
Endemic.
