Lysimachia latifolia, also known as Trientalis latifolia, is a flowering plant in the Primulaceae family. It is commonly called starflower, chickweed-wintergreen, or Pacific starflower. This low-growing perennial has tuberous roots and erect stems, with lanceolate leaves arranged in a single group. Its white or pink flowers bloom in April or May and have 5-9 sepals and petals. This plant is found in moist, shaded slopes with rich organic soil in Canada and the northwestern United States. Its former genus name, Trientalis, refers to its height of one third of a foot, while its current name, latifolia, describes its broad leaves. It is also known as "Indian potato" due to a small swelling at the base of its stem, although it is not edible.
