Also called King's Crown, Roseroot is one of the Arctic's most famous plants, used for centuries in Scandinavia and Alaska as a medicinal herb. Roseroot is commonly found in rocky alpine habitats through Denali. Here the rick burgundy Roseroott contrast with the white and yellow of the Arctic avens. Photo © copyright by Ed Fuhr.
