Leaves of Paronychia jamesii
are 6 to 20mm long. Leaves are longer than the papery stipules. Plants grow at
lower elevations.
Compare to Paronychia pulvinata,
which is a mat-forming tundra plant.
Compare to Paronychia sessiliflora (not pictured), with shorter (4 -
6 mm long) leaves. Stipules of P. sessiliflora are the same length as
the leaves.
