The plant that I chose is a Texas Snowbell, it belongs to the Plantae kingdom. This plant is a endangered specie and has been endangered since 1984. The Texas Snowbell is a flowering plant, it is described to hang upside down off of the stem. It usually is has a white bud that resembles a bell, and when it opens has a yellow stamen.
The Texas Snowbell can only be found in three counties in Texas Edwards, Real, and
Global warming can effect this plant that if the streams dry up then there would be no way this plant would survive. The reason why this plant is endangered is because dear, goats, and other animals eat on the plant. This evidence shows that since global warming has occurred in the last ten years there isn’t enough food for animals to eat. These plants produce beautiful flowers and I think it would be horrible if these plants become extinct.
