Phenology
Flowering from April to May.
Species range
The species tracks the southern margin of the Uinta Basin and the northern flank of the East and West Tavaputs plateaus. The range extends from Starvation Reservoir in Duchesne County, to Dragon in Uintah County, and barely crosses over the border there into Rio Blanco Cty. Colorado. There is also a population around Raven Ridge, south of Hwy. 40 near the UT-CO border. Townsendia mensana occurs in areas with a variety of land ownerships, including BLM, USFS (Ashley NF), Private, SITLA, and Uintah and Ouray Tribal Lands.
