Mountain Jointweed 
One of the most showy plants of the 
mountain meadows is shown in this pic¬ 
ture, It lifts its snowy head higher than 
most of the Alpine flowers. The slender 
grass-like stems are always in motion. 
The root leaves are six inches long 
and more than an inch wide. They grow 
shorter and narrower as they ascend 
the stem. 
This pretty plant has a very homely 
name. It is called Jointweed. 
No. 36.
