Incredible encounter. Foraging around a fairly exposed tidepool in the lower-mid intertidal. Not sure on how to ID between giant pacific and east pacific, but it was pretty small. Looking at now, I think it may be a giant, but not sure. Fantastic encounter, one of my coolest ever wildlife experiences

Lane County OR, the farthest north known site of this species by about 70 miles. Collected in 1934, again in 1969 and 1982. Population previously presumed extinct, currently appears to be stable. This population had not been recorded in 41 years. Growing in rocky, south facing open habitat near Jasper, Oregon. @eralverson @brucen @jamesgrasstoucher @frondsinhighplaces @tanyaharvey

Both flower morphs growing next to each other—light flowers with long pistils and darker flowers with short pistils. Reproduction only happens between plants with opposite flower morphs.

Previously posted in the same location and purportedly wild. I found only the one tree. Looking significantly larger than the picture in the previous post, taken in 2011.

Very cool to see flowers, buds, and fruit flopping over the leaves, waiting to be dispersed by ants. This is a known site. I didn’t find any other plants in the immediate vicinity, and this one has been spreading via stolons. The smell of fish guts almost knocked me over; more aptly named than the Oregon fetid adders tongue, which I didn’t find fragrant. This year is a cold, late spring, so this plant might bloom earlier in other years. Note that the road up to the redwoods trail is inaccessible by car now due to many down trees; this was about one mile up the road after abandoning the car. Still a good walk along the road with many redwoods.

Noticeably smaller flowers, leaves, and stature than the Primula jeffreyi that there were so many of in the bog.
