Phenology

Flowers April to June.

Species range

Navajo Basin endemic.  Known from Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah, and Mesa County, Colorado.

Threats or limiting factors

Heightened interest in hiking the "fin" areas of Arches National Park and Behind the Rocks along with the influxes of mountain-bikers to the area has resulted in increased trampling and disturbance of the plant and its habitat. Also, the southern portion Behind the Rocks is apparently used heavily by cattle. May also be threated by exotic plants. Exotic plants present at one site include Bromus tectorum and Lepidium perfoliatum (EO data in the NatureServe central database as of July 2011).
