I think Potentilla hudsonii
Both ternate and palmate on same plant.
Stem length > 10 cm
Petiole length 2 cm, 1.7 cm, 2.7 cm. Verrucose hairs.
Central leaflet length 1,7- 2,5 cm
Leaflet teeth per side mostly 4, some 3-6. Lenght >3 mm (sometimes secondary present)
Pedicel length less than 1 cm.
Incised to 3⁄4 or more to midvein. Adaxial surface with hairs common to dense.
Awns 13 cm long (>10cm), very large inflorescence relative to my hand. Leaves are broad and hairy. Glumes measured at nearly 4 cm long.
@margaret_eaglecap Hi Margaret, Sincere apologies. I don't know how this one got marked as Summit Drive. I found this plant along the path in the dog park in the mowed lawn area. I have fixed the spot.
Very short pistillate catkins and long silky hairs on juvenile leaves. Could also be glauca. Planted in a naturalized area so genetics are uncertain.
Rosaceae
To variety: Leaves more pinnate (subpalmate) than var. concinna, leaflets toothed >1/2 way to midvein. Leaflet teeth measured at 4-6mm (2-6mm typical for var. divisa; 1-3 for var. concinna).
On steep, eroded, south-facing slopes of river valley. Host of unidentified stem galls: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/158089658
Approx. location.

Here's one I called Salix arctica var. petraea. It has dark bracts (as in S. arctica) but hairless twigs (as in S. petrophila).

@margaret_eaglecap
I called this one Salix arctica var. petraea. Flower bracts are very dark (as in S. arctica) but twigs are hairless (as in S. petrophila).
@margaret_eaglecap
I called this one Salix arctica var. petraea (the var. on the advice of Salix expert I "knew" from Facebook, referring to some similar photos I posted if not necessarily the same ones). The flower bracts are very dark, greenish-black, suggesting S. arctica but twigs are hairless as in S. petrophila.
@margaret_eaglecap
I called this one Salix arctica var. petraea.
Bracts seem tawny on this one (at least not dark/black) as on S. petrophila and twigs are hairless as on S. petrophila.
Location not accurate. It was somewhere along the scree edge in Arethusa Cirque.
I would have called this Salix arctica but hairless twigs seem to make it Salix petrophila; ref.: Vascular Flora of Alberta.
Approx. location - no GPS.
Palmate, leaf surfaces markedly dissimilar in colour; up to 7 leaflets and up to 8 teeth per side on this plant; evenly toothed, cut no more than 1/2 way to center vein.
