Description
The leaves are alternate on solitary stems and up to 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) long and wide. They are divided into five segments (up to nine). The flowers form in numerous clusters on stalks extending from upper leaf axils. Flowers are greenish-white to lavender, appearing in mid to late spring. Five conspicuous stamen extend beyond the five petals to a length more than twice as long as the petals. Sepals bristly on margins.
Range & habitat
Hydrophyllum tenuipes grows at low to mid elevation in shady conditions often in close association with Tolmiea menziesii (Youth on Age), which blooms during the same period.
