The seeds require some heat from fires or scouring before they can germinate. Page 123 Iliamna rivularis Page 124 Fireweed Epilobium angustifolium Evening Primrose Family From foothills to subalpine, this circumboreal species occupies many habitats. The common name refers to its ability to populate burned-over and logged areas with a beautiful cover of pink to magenta flowers. The reddish stems, bearing many alternate lance-like leaves, may reach a height of 6 feet. The slightly irregular flowers are built on a plan of four.
The generic name comes from the Greek words lithos ''stone," and phragma "rock," apparently referring to the plant's habitat. Within Utah there are two other species of the genus, one of which, L. glabrum, forms bulblets in the inflorescence and axils of the stem leaves. Page 45 Lithophragma parviflorum Page 46 Water Buttercup; Water Crowfoot Ranunculus aquatilis Buttercup Family The generic name Ranunculus comes from the Latin rana, meaning "frog," and refers to the wet habitats of some species.
The yellow or orange drooping flowers turn reddish with age. The perianth parts are ¾ inch long, and when they fall and the fruit starts to ripen, the stems straighten out, placing the three-sectioned fruit in an erect position. The underground bulbs are 3 to 6 inches below the surface and reproduce asexually by forming tiny bulblets the size of corn kernels. The narrow leaves are surprisingly succulent and grow in pairs or whorls of three or more. While the bulbs and bulblets were eaten by Native Americans, the use of such food should be discouraged, as sagebrush habitats are fast disappearing with the encroachments of towns and cities.
