[Wikipedia] Range, Habitat, Description, Edibility: Micranthes odontoloma is a species of flowering plant known by the common name brook saxifrage.[1] It is native to much of western North America, where it can be found in many types of moist and rocky habitat types.[2] It is a perennial herb.[2] It produces a clump of leaves with rounded, toothed, or scalloped blades on long, thin petioles.[3] The branching inflorescence arises on a slender, erect peduncle up to half a meter tall bearing many flowers. Each flower has five teardrop-shaped white petals[4] with threadlike bases, and stamens with flat, narrow filaments that sometimes resemble additional petals. The leaves are edible, and can be cooked to reduce their toughness.[4] (contributed by Mary Ann Machi)
