Tofieldia (Tofieldiaceae)

Tofieldia

Tofieldia is a family of perennial herbs primarily found in marshes and other wet environments. These plants are recognized for their clumps of basal leaves and distinctive flowering stalks bearing small, star-shaped flowers. The flowers usually display a unique arrangement in dense spikes, adaptable to their moist, often nutrient-poor habitats. This allows tofieldia to thrive in conditions where other plants might struggle.
