Eritrichium howardii, or Howard's alpine forget-me-not, is a rare flowering plant found in the Rocky Mountain area, most notably in Wyoming and Montana.

[2] Eritrichum howardii is a cushion-like, mat-forming species that tends to occur in more or less open, sparsely vegetated sites with little shade, most often on calcareous soils.

[3] In Montana, the species is documented as occurring on open, exposed ridges or grassy slopes, sometimes associated with Pinus flexilis (limber pine).

Elevations range from 1,219–2,651 metres (3,999–8,698 ft) [4] Eritrichum howardii is a densely matted, long-lived perennial herb under 10 cm tall.

Other potential threats to the species include air pollution (acid rain, nitrogen deposition), extreme weather conditions, and global warming.
