Wikipedia Abstract

Draba globosa is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family known by the common names beavertip draba, round-fruited draba, and rockcress draba. It is native to the western United States, where it occurs in Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and possibly Colorado. This species is a small, clumpy perennial herb with stems just a few centimeters long. The leaf blades are under a centimeter long. The inflorescence is a raceme of up to 7 flowers with white or light yellow petals. This species is similar to many other Draba and a hand lens or microscope is necessary to tell them apart.
