Polemonium occidentale is a perennial herb that is native to California, and also found elsewhere in western North America.
[10000thingsofthepnw.com] Common Name Meaning: This rather spectacular member of the phlox family (Polemoniaceae) also goes by the names of western sky-pilot, western polemonium, and giant polemonium. The common name Jacob?s ladder refers to the supposed resemblance of the opposing, but slightly offset, leaflets to the biblical Jacob?s vision of a ladder to heaven. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
