Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
Unlike its more common cousin, Fendler’s meadowrue, Few-flowered’s flowers are perfect (both male and female), its leaves are smaller and more delicate (although the plant can be tall in height), and it is much less common on the Pass, preferring wet, protected areas like rivulets or seeping rock walls.
