Summary
| Description |
bitterroot, Lewisia rediviva var. rediviva, California, Glass Mountain, Benton Crossing Road, Owens Valley drainage, elevation 2228 m (7310 ft). This species is iconic to the mountains and steppes of western North America, and was first named and described from specimens collect during the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1806. It is the state flower of Montana, and the vernacular "bitterroot" ended up in the names of several places and features in the region. The Latin name "rediviva" refers to the plant's ability to revive after the thick roots appear to be dry and dead. The roots before flowering time were gathered as an important food source by indigenous peoples. |
