Distribution | ||
Discussion | Streamsides, river bars, wet rocky banks, moist seeps. Flowering May–Aug. 0–1700 m. Sisk. CA. Native. |
Open rocky areas, ridges. Flowering Jun–Jul. 1100–1800 m. BW. ID, WA. Native. Some floras recognize plants with stem hairs in the same orientation (versus mixed) as E. davisii. The ranges and habitat of these taxa are, however, sympatric. Until further evidence shows otherwise, there is no compelling reason to recognize E. davisii as distinct from E. disparipilus. |
