Saxifragaceae » Micranthes nelsoniana var. cascadensis
Micranthes nelsoniana (D. Don) Small var. cascadensis (Calder & Savile) Gornall & H. Ohba[FNA8, HC2]
Cascades dotted saxifrage, Nelson's saxifrage
Publication: J. Bot. Res. Inst. Texas. 1: 1020. 2007.
Origin: Native
Herbarium search: CPNWH
Notes: FNA8:"Variety cascadensis has sometimes been confused with Micranthes odontoloma, probably because the petal spots of var. cascadensis fade on herbarium specimens. The more deeply toothed leaves, the compactness of the inflorescence, and the tangled inflorescence hairs clearly distinguish it from M. odontoloma. This variety is present in the Coast and Cascade ranges."
