Until recently, this alpine plant was called Potentilla nivea, but it's recently been separated and now bears the name Holmgren's cinquefoil (Potentilla holmgrenii). It only occurs on three mountain ranges in Nevada and Utah: the Schell, Snake, and Deep Creek ranges. The plant is gray and grows in mats.
Flowers are yellow and look like a typical cinquefoil flower.
We found very few flowers at the beginning of August.
This flower was covered with insects (anyone know what they are?).For download the pdf (1.1 MB) about Holmgren's cinquefoil, click here.
