Paeonia brownii
This herb is native to the western United States and grows at high elevations. The flower and leaves of this plant make it easy to recognize.
Found this Brown's peony along the trail to Ross Falls in the Sawtooth National Forest. There were various species of shrubs, forbs and grasses along the trail.
This plant is named after the botanist Robert Brown. It is the only plant in the genus Paeonia that is native to the United States.
