Dryas integrifolia
Also called Entire Leaved Mountain Avens, Entire Leaved White Mountain Avens
A low, mat-forming Arctic and subarctic dwarf shrub with white flowers and small, silky-haired leaves. It is a hardy alpine-type plant that needs cold winters and open, well-drained ground rather than warm garden conditions.
Dryas integrifolia is a species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common names arctic avens, entireleaf mountain-avens, white mountain-avens, northern white mountain avens, and mountain avens. It is native to northern parts of North America, where it occurs from Alaska across Canada to Greenland. It is a common species of the Arctic and it is probably the most common flowering plant on some of the western Arctic islands.
This plant is a shrub, often a dwarf shrub. It forms a prostrate mat up to 10 cm (3.9 in) to 17 cm (6.7 in) tall, the stems branching horizontally along the ground. The leaves are borne on stipulate petioles that are covered in long, silky or woolly hairs. The leaf blades are linear to lance-shaped and measure up to 2.2 cm (0.87 in) long. The blades have smooth upper surfaces and densely haired undersides.
