Edaphic endemism is a term for plants that prefer to grow on uncommon rock types, like limestone, gypsum, or mafic/ultramafic (full of metals).
Use Rockd to find patches of weird geology around you and you will probably find weird plants there

Apparently it has "exacting edaphic preferences" i.e. it's picky what kind of soil it will grow on ;-)
