Micranthes occidentalis, commonly known as western saxifrage, is a species of flowering plant native to North America.

[1][2][3] Micranthes occidentalis is an herbaceous perennial, with three to five petoliate leaves in a rosette pattern at the base of the plant.

Flowering stems, growing 10-25 cm tall, are leafless, glandular-hairy, and reddish in color[4] In May through August, stems grow clusters of small white or pinkish flowers, which are calyx cup-shaped.

Micranthes occidentalis can be distinguished from the closely related M. rufidula by its comparatively irregular tooth pattern, non-hairy leaves, and glandular (rather than flat) inflorescence.

Occurring from New Mexico to as far north as Alaska and as far east as Montana,[6] M. occidentalis is common in a variety of ecological conditions, including rocky slopes, meadows, and mossy openings.
