Sibbaldia parviflora

Sibbaldia parviflora is a species of flowering plant in the genus Sibbaldia of the family Rosaceae, native to Southeast Europe and West Asia.

It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing in damp rocky places on alpine meadows.

Though commonly accepted as a species, it has been placed by some as a subspecies or a variety of Sibbaldia procumbens (a species found in arctic and alpine regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere).

[3] It is distinguished from the similar Sibbaldia procumbens by the veins on the petals, which take on an anastomosing character towards the apex.

[2] The plant is found in scattered areas in the mountains of northern Iran, northern Iraq, Turkey, the Caucasus, and also on the Balkan peninsula: in northern Greece (at elevations of 2300–2400 m at mount Kajmakčalan in Voras/Nidže, and Kiafa in northern Pindus), North Macedonia (the mountain of Galičica),[2] Albania (Gramos and Ostrovicë mountains) and Bulgaria (Osogovo).
