Pinkish-red flowers with reflexed petals, similar to those of Shooting Star (Dodecatheon spp.). Prostrate growth habit, trailing stems grow across the sphagnum moss in forest bogs. Leaves are small, oblanceolate to elliptical, glossy dark green above, grey green below, 1 cm long, 4 mm wide edges rolled under.

Flowers appear in June, we measured them at 13 mm long. Fruit is a small, edible, red-coloured berry.

Flowering stems to 4 cm tall.

Took the above photos on June 28th, in a bog in boreal forest in central Saskatchewan.
