Lithophragma trifoliatum is a variety of flowering plant in the saxifrage family known from the western slope of the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada in California . It is sometimes considered its own species based on the pink, fragrant flowers, the shape of the hypanthium, and other characters.[1] Others consider it to be a sterile variety of L. parviflorum that likely now persists by vegetative reproduction.[2]
