The langdu flower, literally meaning wolf poison, is a kind of poisonous flower popular in the highland areas. Having strong water absorptivity, the flower is hardy and easy to grow in the cold and dry climate.
The langdu flower is regarded as a "warning sign" of grassland desertification as it is difficult for other plants to survive in its habitat.
