POTENTILLA glandulosa ssp. ashlandica. This is the identity provided by botanist friends for a perennial potentilla whose seeds I collected in the Yolla Bolly Mountains of northern California. It forms attractive broad colonies, with rosettes of several-parted, toothed leaves up to 8" long. It flowers in late spring and much of the summer, carrying 1' sprays of soft yellow five-petalled blossoms, each a little under an inch across.
