Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A gem from the west, somewhat intractable in cultivation but very desirable, every bit as choice as Lepidium nanum; hard domes of tiny needle like leaves, stemless white flowers; Ron's collection from Cedar Mtn. at 7550' where the pulvinate cushions cling to exposed conglomerate outcrops in an area of Pinyon/Juniper woodland.
