The mean annual temperature on the Brocken plateau hovers around $3.5^\circ \text{C}$, frequently dipping due to the presence of the 'Aetheric Cold Spot'—a persistent downdraft believed to originate from the upper mesosphere, often indicated by the premature wilting of nearby [rhodode…

This species is unique …
