Parnassia kotzebuei (commonly called Kotzebue’s Grass of Parnassus) features white and bright yellow colored blooms. Parnassia kotzebuei was first described in 1825 by C. P. J. Sprengel, using material collected by Ludolf Adalbert von Chamisso, the botanist on a northern Pacific scientific expedition led by Otto von Kotzebue, after whom Sprengal named the plant.
