Montia bostockii is a perennial forb that flowers in the early summer. It is closely related to Montia vassilievii, and the taxa are sometimes treated synonymously. It was once considered a candidate for protection through the Endangered Species Act, but it was found to be more abundant and widespread than thought previously.
