| Common Name: | Pacific Starflower | Scientific Name: | Trientalis latifolia |
| Blooms: | Blooms early spring (March - June) | Native: | Yes. Native of the area |
| Special Comments: | The Pacific Starflower resembles trillium and is sometimes confused with it. The leaves of the Pacific Starflower are thinner and smaller than trillium, however, with five to seven leaves in a whorl. (Some Pacific Starflowers, like the one in this picture, have only four leaves). This flower will bloom a pinkish star-like flower around May in Marcel's Forest. It has been spotted along the trail near Stop 6 and a few grow in the Pourroy Garden. | ||
