Fender's Waterleaf
A curious common name for this plant. Fender's Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum fendleri) leaves are hairy on the underside and seem to grow in damp areas. These were near the boggy area at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park in Beaverton. They can grow up to the subalpine elevations. The fendleri part of the Latin name is from Augustus Fendler, a German immigrant in 1850, who collect plants for research.
