Dodecatheon pulchellum, commonly known as pretty shooting star, few-flowered shooting star, dark throat shooting star and prairie shooting star, is a perennial herb with single, leafless flower stems, growing from very short erect root stocks with no bulblets. It grows to a height of 5 to 40 centimeters. Its leaves are basal, 2-15 centimeter long, blades oblong-lance-shaped to oblance-shaped, mostly entire to somewhat small-toothed, narrowed gradually to winged stalks nearly as long.
