The endemic Maltese Everlasting, ”Gozo’s real golden treasure,” has been put in the spotlight by the Malta Ranger Unit.
The MRU said that this plant only grows on the western coast of Gozo, ”nowhere else in the whole world.”
The MRU explained that, this beautiful plant is seen by the Rangers when they patrol the coastline of Gozo. ”Its Maltese name, Sempreviva t’Ghawdex, describes it well.”
The flowers themselves smell like curry and dried indoors they can last for many years with their original colours, bringing about the name ”everlasting.”
The Rangers reminded the public that this plant is strictly protected and has a threatened status under Subsidiary Legislation 549.44.
The Malta Ranger Unit urged the public to ”all take pride in our endemic flora, respect it and allow it to thrive.”
