J20160707-0015—Cassiope mertensiana—RPBG

            Cassiope mertensiana—white mountain heather. The species is named for the vain queen of Ethiopia Cassiopeia in Greek mythology who boated of her unrivaled beauty. White mountain heather grows in rocky places and crevices above 2200 meters in the Sierra Nevada and northward to Alaska. It also is found eastward to Montana and Wyoming. The most fascinating feature of the plant is not its beautiful white flowers but it scale or shingle like leaves. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
