| Phenology Comments: | |
| Reproduction Comments: | |
| Habitat Comments: | Relatively non-specific habitats within the pinyon-juniper and lower montane scrub zones, but most frequent in relatively deep, stable, sandy or sandy-rocky soils on or near protected (wooded or north-sloping) exposures and/or in micro-drainages, or on more open, south-sloping exposures at higher elevations, mostly derived from rhyolitic, granitoid, or andesitic parent materials, mostly on flat to very gentle slopes but sometimes sloping up to 25 degrees, sometimes colonizing disturbances adjacent to undisturbed source populations, with Pinus monophylla, Juniperus osteosperma, Leptodactylon pungens, Opuntia erinacea, Elymus elymoides, Stipa comata, Astragalus purshii, Eriogonum caespitosum, E. umbellatum, Stenotus acaulis, Phlox hoodii, etc. |
| Ecology Comments: | |
| Inventory Comments: | Targeted surveys have been extensive and are largely complete, but several undocumented occurences likely remain to be discovered. |
