Potentilla hendersonii

Potentilla hendersonii, commonly known as Henderson's horkelia, is a rare species of flowering plant in the rose family.

Potentilla hendersonii grows as a perennial herb producing a low mat of hairy, glandular gray-green foliage about a woody base.

The leaves are cylindrical and sometimes tapering to a point, growing erect in a patch around the caudex.

Each leaf is 3 to 8 centimeters long and is made up of densely spaced pairs of minutely toothed leaflets.

Although few populations of the plant are known to exist, they are not in imminent danger of destruction and a federal listing as an endangered or threatened species was declined in 2003.
