--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, cespitose to mat-forming. <b>Taproots</b> filiform to slightly thickened. <b>Stems</b> ascending to erect or procumbent, green, (0.8–)3–12 cm, glabrous, internodes of all stems 0.5–10 times as long as leaves. <b>Leaves</b> barely if at all overlapping, connate proximally, with tight, scarious to herbaceous sheath 0.2–0.5 mm; blade straight to slightly outward curved, green, flat, 1-veined, occasionally 3-veined abaxially, linear to linear-oblong or subulate, (2–)4–10 × (0.3–)0.5–1.5 mm, flexuous, margins not thickened, scarious, smooth, apex green or purple, mostly rounded, slightly navicular, shiny, glabrous; axillary leaves present among proximal cauline leaves. <b>Inflorescences</b> 1–3(–5)-flowered, open cymes or flowers solitary, terminal; bracts subulate, herbaceous. <b>Pedicels</b> 0.3–3 cm, glabrous. <b>Flowers</b>: hypanthium disc-shaped; sepals 1–3-veined, often prominently, becoming ribbed in fruit, broadly elliptic to ovate (herbaceous portion broadly elliptic to ovate), (1.5–)2.5–3.2 mm, to 4 mm in fruit, apex green to purple, acute to acuminate, not hooded, glabrous; petals lanceolate to spatulate or orbiculate, (0.6–)0.8–1 times as long as sepals, apex rounded, entire, or petals rudimentary or absent. <b>Capsules</b> on stipe ca. 0.1–0.2 mm, ovoid, 2.5–3.2 mm, shorter than or equaling sepals. <b>Seeds</b> brown or reddish brown, orbiculate with radicle prolonged into rounded bump, somewhat compressed, 0.4–0.6 mm, smooth or obscurely low-tuberculate (50×). <b>2n</b> = 22 (Europe), 26, 30 (Europe).</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Minuartia stricta</i> is circumpolar and sometimes has been included within <i>M. michauxii</i> (e.g., B. Maguire 1958; H. J. Scoggan 1978–1979, part 3).</p><!--
--><p>Plants from alpine sites in California are, in spite of smaller stature and often smaller floral parts, <i>Minuartia stricta</i>. Colorado populations appear to vary widely in habit, but floral and fruit features match <i>M. stricta</i>.</p>
