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.
