The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: The western United States and Canada. The range of
distribution extends southward from the panhandle of S. E. Alaska through
the Canadian Rockies in most of the Canadian province of British Colombia
and the extreme southwestern corner of the province of Alberta, with a
tongue of distribution extending southward through the Idaho panhandle,
the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, and mountains of western
Montana to as far south as the Yellowstone Park region. A western tongue
of distribution extends down the Cascade Mountains of western Washington
and Oregon, dividing in the mountains of southern Oregon and northern
California with a branch extending down the Coast Range of northern
California while an eastern branch extends down the Sierras of eastern
California to as far south as Yosemite. These are plants of the higher
mountain regions, with plants in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon
reported from about 5000 ft. (1520 m). Plants may be found in growing and
flowering in open woods, growing in almost full sun, or deeply shaded
coniferous forests. Jasen (1992) described a typical exposure that
occurred on a sunny exposure along a bluff over a ravine. Plants were
perched on a slope at a forty-five degree angle, with high, mature
coniferous trees scattering the sunlight into patches on the ground below.
The plants were growing in a mat of partially composted coniferous needles
that was 6-10 in. (15-25 cm) deep, lying over a layer of decomposed
granite bedrock so that rain falling in the area percolates downward
through the vegetative mat which retains moisture and helps sustain the
plants during dry periods.
