Phenology
Flowers from July to September.
Species range
A Southern Plateaus endemic, found in Iron County and Kane County, Utah.
Threats or limiting factors
Threats minimal in most sites (Alexander 2016). One observation noted that trampling was in issue because trail in Cedar Breaks was not well marked and hikers walk all over the hill. Occurrences on the gravel shores at Navajo lake may also be subject to trampling by people while recreating at the lake. Climate change including drought and earlier than normal snow melt may also be impacting this species.
