Frasera puberulenta Davidson

Inyo Frasera
Gentianaceae


Found in the Sierra Nevada, Inyo and White mountains, Frasera puberulenta Davidson is easy to miss, but an interesting plant none the less. Found in dry mountain woodlands, the leaves of these plants are highly puberulent on the underside and margin, giving them a soft, white edge. The flower stalk is not as large as some other Frasera, only reaching 1-3 decimeters in height.
