Phlox nana Nuttall subsp. glabella (Gray) Brand
Phlox nana is very conspicuous by virtue of the striking pattern of the
flower. The innermost area is a five pointed deep purple star, surrounded by a
sunburst pattern of white. The largest portion of the petals is pink purple. The
stems and leaves are hairy gray-green but not glandular (as in Phlox nana). Phlox nana is found at middle elevation on dry, gravelly hillsides.
