The photos on this page were all taken at a large clearcut along FS Rd 82 on Mt. Adams, at approximately an elevation of 2540'.........May 7, 2005. Notice the reddish color of the young plants and stems, and the stem leaf directly below the inflorescence which is often incompletely perfoliate (does not wrap completely around the stem). The basal leaves of this subspecies tend to be broadly triangular, or trowel-shape. If they are somewhat deltate, the widest part of the leaf is in the lower third of the blade.
