Botanical name: Rhodiola heterodonta Family: Crassulaceae (Sedum family)
Toothed Roseroot is a rhizomatous perennial with fleshy grayish green
leaves, alternately arranged on unbranched upright stems. Leaves are
broadly lancelike-triangular, with irregularly toothed margin. Irregularly
toothed margin is the identifying feature of the species. The botanical
name heterodonta means having different kinds of teeth. Dense
cymes of star-shaped red-yellow stalkless, bractless flowers bloom late
spring to early summer. Male flowers have red or purple anthers; females
have carpels with purple tips. Toothed Roseroot is found at altitudes of
3300-5000 m. Flowering: June-August.
