Piggyback Plant, also called Youth-On-Age, 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, native to Cascadia.  This plant produces seeds, uses rhizomes, but also develops plantlets on the flower that drop off and can root in the soil.
