  prairiestar_slender.jpg - Slender Prairie Star (Lithophragma tenellum) Also called a Slender Woodland Star. This looks like a combination of the two other Prairie Stars. Notice each petal has 5 to 7 segments, no red bulblets at the joints and the opening to the throat is large. The calyx is cup shaped and green to light red in color and usually several buds. This is the most delicate and smallest of the Prairie Stars. One key to identity is in the basal leaves. They are about the size of a penny, almost round and only slightly notched.
