Fringecup (8070)

Fringecup, also called Fragrant Fringecup, is most likely found in areas that are moist and shady. A herb and a member of the Saxifragaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 12.  Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, moist and shady, also found in the Rocky Mountains with little chance of extinction.  If you read about the sparse use of this plant, you’ll read the words of Erna Gunther (1973). A hero of this writer (although of different ages, we both left the University of Washington in 1966), “During her career, she was instrumental in opening the eyes of both the public and the scholarly community to the importance of Northwest Coast Indian culture.”  Her notes on NW ethnobotanicals lead, we today only follow.
