Summary

[edit]
Description Cassiope mertensiana—white mountain-heather. Grows between 1800 and 3500 meters in the Sierra Nevada then north to Alaska and eastward from Washington to Montana. The most interesting feature of the plant is not the pretty flowers but the leaves which have been described as heather-like or scale-like or likened to roofing shingles. The species grows among the crevices in high country sometimes forming mats usually less than a few centimeters tall. White heather was reported to be John Muir's favorite species. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA
