QUEENCUP 



Clintonia uniflora (Menzies) Kunth 



Queencup is a lovely member of the Lily Family. It is found only 

 in places where conditions are exactly to its liking, delighting in 

 dense shade under the trees where mosses flourish and the earth 

 is always cool and moist. The single flower stem rises between a pair 

 of deep green leaves, similar to those of lily-of-the-valley, and bears 

 a single pure white flower with yellow stamens. 



Queencup ranges from Montana to California, and north to 

 southeastern Alaska. 



The specimen sketched grew near Emerald Lake, seven miles 

 from Field, British Columbia, at an altitude of 4,500 feet.
