Persian violet (Exacum affine) is a species that is commonly found wherever there is water. Even though this individual appears to be growing straight of of the face of the rock, it has set root in a crack that water seeps through for an extended time after the winter rains. This one is in its absolute prime, and when the lovely scent is at its most enticing.
Endemic to Socotra and Southwest Oman.
