Snow Dwarf-Primrose -or- Snow Douglasia (Douglasia nivalis), family Primulaceae (Primrose)
Publication of this species was a long time in coming, pending a sure identification. Little information was 'out there' at the time we sighted these lovely plants back in 2007, less sursprising in 2011, upon learning that the plants are found ONLY IN Washington state.
For many additional photos and technical information on Snow-Dwarf, visit the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
