This photo shows what might be alpine bentgrass as seen at about 8000' at the base of the North Cleaver on the northern slopes of Mt. Adams...........September 29, 2008. A mat of Davidson's penstemon (Penstemon davidsonii) surrounds this grass, while alpine lupine (Lupinus lepidus var. lobbii) can be seen behind the plant.
