''Paeonia brownii'' (Brown's peony or native peony), is an herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Paeoniaceae.〔Sierra Nevada Wildflowers, Karen Wiese, 2nd ed., 2013, p. 102〕 The species name is after Scottish botanist Robert Brown.〔 ==Habitat and range== It is native to dry climate areas of the western United States. It grows below 10,000' in open areas of sagebrush scrub〔 and mixed coniferous forest (Ponderosa pine country) in the northern and north central Sierra Nevada.〔 Excepting ''Paeonia californica'', which is sometimes considered a subspecies, this is the only ''Paeonia'' native to North America. Native to the western United States, ''P. californica'' grows in southern California, and subspecies ''brownii'' is native to Wyoming and Utah. The species grows at high elevations and experiences long, cold winters with little or no snow and a short growing season, while subsp. ''californica'' is less cold hardy, and is a near-desert succulent, going a year or more without rain.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paeonia brownii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
