aka Pear Leaf, Fireleaf Leptarrhena. The oval to oblong pear-shaped leaves, up to 6″ (15 cm) long, form a basal rosette. They are glossy-green above and silvery-green underneath. Stems, which turn reddish, rise to 16″ (40 cm) and support a rounded cluster of small flowers each with ten stamens. They seem small considering the plant’s imposing leaves. The heads become quite showy when in fruit with the bright red seed-pods. Usually found in or near wet areas between 4,000′ to 6,500′ elevation.
