Fringe Cups (Tellima grandiflora)Observer
nicholas-szatkowskiDescription
I had first thought this was a species of Mitella (Mitrewort). But after looking further into the inflorescences of Fringecups, I'm suggesting this species.

Skin Beetles (Genus Dermestes)Observer
nicholas-szatkowskiDescription
I am basing this suggestion on photos from iNat. Adult Larder Beetles are certainly present in this area.

Sitka Burnet (Sanguisorba stipulata)Observer

Canadian Burnet (Sanguisorba canadensis) appears to be similar morphologically, but I don't know it's range, so I'm suggesting Sitka Burnet, which I'm sure occurs in this location.

I'm suspecting either B. sylvicola, or B. melnopygus, but I can't tell which.

In woods between lower Klehini and Little Salmon Rivers, Chilkat Valley, Haines Borough, Alaska, USA (Google, OSM)Description
It seems that P. maniculatus, P. keenii, and P. arcticus might have range overlap in this particular location, and I can't distinguish which of those taxa this specimen belongs to.

Stream Violet (Viola glabella)Observer
nicholas-szatkowskiDescription
It definitely looks very similar to the Stream Violet that grows in the valley bottom in this area. But there are two inflorescences on each plant. And I see that the iNat linked Wikipedia article says V. biflora is also known as "alpine yellow violet", and since thses specimens were growing in the alpine, I'm suggesting Viola biflora.
