Roundleaf Brookfoam

Boykinia rotundifolia, commonly known as Roundleaf Brookfoam, is a perennial herb native to the moist, shaded areas of the Pacific Northwest, particularly in the understory of coniferous forests and along streambanks. This species typically grows to a height of 12 to 24 inches, forming a dense clump with a rosette of round, lobed leaves that can reach up to 6 inches in diameter. The leaves are a vibrant green, providing a striking contrast to the delicate white flowers that emerge in late spring to early summer, arranged in loose clusters atop slender stems. The flowers are not only aesthetically pleasing but also attract various pollinators, playing an important role in the local ecosystem by supporting biodiversity.
