Sullivantia hapemanii
Sullivantia hapemanii is a plant in the saxifrage family with two varieties. The variety growing in Colorado is known as hanging garden coolwort and the variety that grows in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho is known as Wyoming sullivantia.
Sullivantia hapemanii is native to four western states, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, but each variety has its own range and is widely separated from the other. Both varieties favor rather alkaline growing environments, such as on limestone or in water sources high in calcium carbonate. They grow in areas that are constantly moist or wet near streams, waterfalls, and seeps.
