About

Mentzelia multicaulis, also known as manystem blazingstar, is a species of plant in the stickleaf family that is endemic to three counties in the state of Colorado.

Where it grows

The manystem blazingstar is endemic to just three counties in central Colorado, Eagle, Grand, and Summit. They grow in barren areas with few other plants including steep slopes, drainage gullies, and road cuts at elevations of 2,000 to 2,500 meters (6,600 to 8,200 ft). The total size of its range was calculated by NatureServe at 1,000 to 5,000 square kilometers (390 to 1,930 sq mi). Twenty-one occurrences have been documented, but nine have not had growing plants documented in more than 20 years.
