    I found this plant on Balu Pass Trail in Glacier National Park (between Revelstoke and Golden) on June 13, 2006. What is this? I have no idea at all in this case.

    I think this is Leptarrhena pyrolifolia, common name Leatherleaf saxifrage. We see it often in wet seeps subalpine/ alpine in the North Cascades.

    Thanks a lot for the flower id! Leptarrhena pyrolifolia looks exactly right.
