aka Tufted Alpine Saxifrage. “Tufted” means arranged in a dense cluster. The little leaf-clusters are very crowded as are the flowers which overlap to form a brilliant floral display. The wedge-shaped leaves, bundled in little whorls, have three finger divisions at the tips. They turn brownish in the drought of late summer. Stems grow to 6″ (15 cm). Usually found on rocky ridges and cevices in the Park at between 7,000′ to 8,500′ elevation. Can also be found in rocky places at sea level.
