    The shortest-lived is the short-lived chrysanthemum, which has a long drought in the desert, and the seeds of this plant sprout and grow quickly in early spring when the rain is slightly wet, and the flowers bear fruit. The entire life cycle of a lifetime is only a short period of three or four weeks. The short-lived chrysanthemum is one of the shortest-lived plants in the world, and it has a lifespan of less than a month.

    This habit is the result of its adaptation to a special living environment. Short-lived chrysanthemum is also called"Tooth grass", is a plant of the Asteraceae family that lives in the Sahara Desert of Africa. There is a prolonged drought and very little rainfall.

    Many desert plants have degraded leaves, the ability to conserve water, and adapt to arid environments. However, short-lived chrysanthemum is different in that it has developed a special habit of rapid growth and maturity. As soon as there is a little rain in the desert and the ground is a little wet, it will immediately sprout and grow and bloom.

    Its tongue-like flowers are arranged around the inflorescence like serrations. Interestingly, the flowers of the short-lived chrysanthemum are extremely sensitive to humidity and close quickly when the air is dry; When slightly wet, it opens quickly and produces results quickly. When the fruit is ripe, it shrinks into a spherical shape, and it rolls in the wind, spreading to other countries and multiplying to future generations.

    Because it has a short life and comes and goes in a hurry, it is called"Short-lived chrysanthemum".
