teagan_maclachlanDescription
Lemma’s awnless, ruling out A. mertensii; Agrostis idahoenis is the most likely species based on the key from Illustrated Flora of British Columbia. However, this observation is outside the expected range of A. idahoensis. See last photos for notes on morphology.

Pink Mountainheath (Phyllodoce empetriformis)Observer
teagan_maclachlanDescription
This unusual individual lacks the pink pigment which is typical of P. empetriformis and instead displays a pure white flower phenotype. I have determined that it is P. empetriformis based on the characteristic shape of the corolla. The last photos include an adjacent wild type individual for reference.
