We have found Rusty-haired Saxifrage, Saxifraga rufidula, growing on a damp rock face on the east side of Olympic Hot Springs Road, about a mile south of Highway 101. Locally abundant on the Olympic Peninsula, this species is identifiable by the rust-colored hairs on the undersides of the leaves. The small white flowers are offset by bright red anthers.
