Crazyweed
Oxytropis parryi
1999

This cushion-like plant grows around timberline in a single place in California in the White Mountains. It also grows on high,rocky ridges in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. The dense, soft, silvery hairs that cover it protect it from the harsh sun and drying winds of these high elevations.
