Suksdorfia violacea is an uncommon species of herbaceous flowering plant in the saxifrage family known by the common name violet suksdorfia. In 1879 Asa Gray named the genus "Suksdorfia" after Wilhelm Nikolaus Suksdorf who had first collected a specimen of "S. violacea" in 1878 near Mount Adams-White Salmon, Washington and sent it to Gray for assistance in classifying it. Gray and Suksdorf had a long and close working relationship, and Gray initially identified and named various species found by Suksdorf. Its conservation status has been rated by NatureServe as "G4 – Apparently Secure".
Taxonomy.
"Suksdorfia violacea" is the type species for this genus and Gray named it after Suksdorf. The genus name "Hemieva" Raf. was published earlier than "Suksdorfia", but was less well known, and "Suksdorfia" is now a conserved name. Therefore, "Hemieva violacea", although correct when it was published in 1896 is no longer the correct name for this species.
Ecology.
"Suksdorfia violacea" is found in Washington, British Columbia, Oregon, Alberta, Montana, and Idaho. It is most common in Washington and southeast British Columbia. It prefers moist areas with rocks, crevices, ledges, and fences. It is a perennial that grows from rhizomes. It has petiolate rounded leaves that are wide. The calyx is a slender bell shape. The flower is a five-lobed, violet-colored, slender, tapered, and with 5 stamens. The fruits are long and have brown seeds. The plants usually grow to a height of in small groups at lower elevations.
