Phenology
Flowers from June to August
Species range
A northern Wasatch Mountain endemic. Known from high elevations near Tony Lake and Mt. Naomi in Cache Co., Utah and in Franklin Co., Idaho (Welsh et al. 2008).
Threats or limiting factors
This plant is fairly abundant and widespread in the Logan Naomi wilderness area. Hikers and trails are likely impacting some occurrences. Impacts from OHV use were reported for some observations in Providence Canyon (URPD, accessed 2025). At least thirty observations in the Utah Rare Plant Database list farming and ranching as a threat in the Davenport Hollow and Doubletop Mountain occurrences (URPD, accessed 2025). Research suggests that species of high elevation could be vulnerable to climate change but no information is available for this particular species.
