Bitterroot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (273 words)
It is found on sagebrush plains to the lower mountains, in western and south central Montana.
The bitterroot was selected to be the Montana State Flower on February 27, 1895.
Three major geographic features, the Bitterroot Mountains (running north-south and forming the divide between Idaho and Montana), the Bitterroot Valley, and the Bitterroot River (also running north-south, terminating in the Clark Fork River in the city of Missoula), owe the origins of their names to this flower.
