or White Polemonium
(Polemonium foliosissimum or albiflorum)
Grows in soil that is rich and medium-dry. The plant is a dense clump
about 2 feet high.
The leaves are deeply dissected, and
supposedly resemble the ladder that was used by Jacob in the Bible.
Each blossom is about 1 inch in diameter,
and is white with yellow stamens.
