Genus Sarcodes is a monotypic genus that includes only one species, Sarcodes sanguinea. It is commonly known as snow plant or snow flower and it is found in western North America, especially in the conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges.
Some synonyms for Genus Sarcodes include Sarcodes fimbriata, Sarcodes rubra, Fimbriatella sanguinea, and Allanella sanguinea. These names have been proposed in the past but none of them were officially accepted as valid names for this genus.
Despite being a monotypic genus, Sarcodes sanguinea is a remarkable and iconic plant with a deep red color that contrasts beautifully with the snow-covered forest floor during the spring bloom. Its unique appearance has attracted many scientists and botanists who study its ecology, reproductive biology, and its interactions with other organisms in its environment.
