Cympoterus montanus
has purple-pink to white flowers with long stamens. The bracts surrounding the
inflorescence are white with a prominent green vein. Contrary to the name Mountain
Springparsley, Cympoterus montanus is found on the plains and foothills
on sandy soils.
Compare to Cymopterus acaulis, which has shinier leaves and green bracts surrounding the inflorescence.
