About Brewerimitella breweri (A.Gray) R.A.Folk & Y.Okuyama
Brewerimitella breweri is a species of flowering plant in the saxifrage family. It has the synonyms Mitella breweri and Pectiantia breweri, and the common names Brewer's mitrewort and Brewer's bishop's cap. It is native to western North America, ranging from British Columbia to central California's Sierra Nevada range and Nevada, where it grows in moist meadows, woods, and mountain forests. This rhizomatous perennial herb grows up to roughly 30 to 40 centimeters tall. Most of its leaves grow around the base of the stem, with rounded blades that are several centimeters wide and have edges split into dull toothed lobes. An erect inflorescence holds several flowers, sometimes more than 50, usually arranged along one side of the stem. The distinctive flower is saucer-shaped, with five greenish petals that are divided into narrow, whisker-like lobes.
