Discussion | [Species with one variety or subspecies in Oregon.] |
Northern Hemisphere. 27 species; 8 species treated in Flora. A small population of E. multiscapideum was discovered in Jackson County in 2010. The collector (Frank Callahan), however, notes that the number of plants was not abundant and that the population was suffering from browsing deer. Whether this species is currently present in Oregon is unknown at this time. |
