About

Sibbaldia parviflora is a species of flowering plant in the genus Sibbaldia of the family Rosaceae, native to Southeast Europe and West Asia. It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing in damp rocky places on alpine meadows.

There have been different views on its taxonomic status. Though commonly accepted as a species, it has been placed by some as a subspecies or a variety of Sibbaldia procumbens (a species found in arctic and alpine regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere). The related Sibbaldia cuneata of the Himalayas and China has been variously treated as either a distinct species, or subsumed under Sibbaldia parviflora.
