GPS and narrative data on collection label state very close but not within CRMO. This species has not been observed within CRMO. It is possible, but unknown, that additional plants could occur within CRMO; this should be investigated.

Park Species Detail: The S. Popovich specimen collected in summer 2006 on the immediate Lava Lake boundary (Popovich 8387, CRMO acc. no. 223, cat. no. 5089) was reliably collected just within this Park Unit, even if GPS data on collection label suggest very close but not within this Park Unit. -S. Popovich, 25 December 2007. This species was also observed in summer 2006 by S. Popovich very close to but just outside this Park Unit in several BLM-administered boundary areas north of HWY 20/26/93. It is possible, but unknown, that additional plants could occur within this Park Unit in such areas. The N.D. Atwood collection (Atwood 28688, CRMO acc.no. 212, cat. no. 3248) occurs just outside of the CRMO boundary. Because all known sites appear to be on the immediate boundary of this Park Unit, all CRMO references citing this taxon have been included (see references). The Wunner (1967) reference clearly states "Not collected in our area. Occurring in moist locations near Carey [Idaho]." This information probably also applies to the Urban (1968) reference, but it is unknown what is intended in the NPS reference (1992). Habitat in this Park Unit = Generally restricted to foothills in and near the North Unit; may include Huff Creek meadows and Laidlaw Park areas; often associated with riparian zones or mesic sites.
