Petasites frigidus
Single flower stalk, triangular leaves coming up from rhizome.
Tundra, moist places.
The flower stalk comes up early in the growing season, withers, and then many more leaves will come up. There are 2 very similar species in this area. This is a medicinal plant used as a cough suppressant.
