The Beautiful Polemouium 
On one of our Rainier trips, we found 
a pretty plant called the Beautiful Pole- 
monium or Greek Valerian. 
It grew about a foot in height. 
Its leaves are compound and alter¬ 
nate. They look something like the leaf 
of the pea. The leaflets are sometimes 
opposite and sometimes alternate. 
On the ends of the branches are clus¬ 
ters of bright blue bell-shaped flowers. 
No. 38.
