Aliciella sedifolia
Aliciella sedifolia (formerly Gilia sedifolia) is a rare species of flowering plant in the phlox family, commonly known as stonecrop gilia. It is endemic to Colorado in the United States, and it is limited to a small area in the San Juan Mountains.
This plant is unlikely to be confused with any other. It is a perennial herb growing from a taproot, reaching only a short stature. The leaves are linear in shape and succulent in texture, resembling those of stonecrops (Sedum), giving the species its name. The inflorescence is a spikelike cluster of blue-purple flowers. The seeds are winged. Blooming occurs in July and August, and possibly September.
