Phenology
Flowers from June to August
Species range
Occurs on the southern Wasatch Plateau on Ferron, Heliotrope and White mountains in Sanpete and Sevier Counties (Franklin, 2005).
Threats or limiting factors
Primary threat is from energy development on Forest Service land. Degradation of habitat by disturbances, like from grazing related impacts, results in an increase of exposed mineral soils and a shift in species composition (Franklin 2005).
