Pulicaria microcephala
Pulicaria microcephala is a species of flowering plant of the sunflower family endemic to the Berlengas archipelago in Portugal. It is a small and ramified plant[2] occurring in clearings of scrubs in coastal cliffs.[3] Its flowers are yellow, flowering between March and July.[2][4] It is an endangered plant species,[3] mainly threatened by the excessive nitrification of soils (due to the high density of seabirds) and invasive plant species, namely the ice plant.[4]
