Crested form (abnormal growth, forma cristata) of bindweed (Convolvulus pilosellifolius)(?) with a stiff stem in a shallow wadi on roadside of a road to Sawda Natheel. Southern Qatar

🎞️ #1745-02

The image depicts a plant growing in a dry and rocky terrain.

In the center-right of the image is a plant with green leaves that are densely packed at the tip, giving it a somewhat "crested" appearance. The plant has a stiff stem that grows straight up from the ground. It appears to be one of many similar plants scattered across the soil, which is brown and rocky.

There is also an out-of-focus bindweed (Convolvulus pilosellifolius) in the bottom left corner of the image.

The overall appearance suggests a dry and possibly arid environment. The plant's stiff stem and dense foliage may be adaptations to conserve water or protect itself from harsh conditions. – AI vision
