Discussion | Iliamna longisepala is distinctive in its long calyx and calyx lobes. The species is rare and limited to the eastern side of the Wenatchee Mountains in the arid transition zones over a total distance of about 120 kilometers in Chelan, Douglas, and Kittitas counties.

Iliamna crandallii was described from near Steamboat Springs, Routt County, and is restricted to that area. It has been reported from Rio Blanco County (according to a specimen at COLO). T. A. Bodo Slotta (2000) stated that she collected fresh material of the species at Buffalo Pass and Fish Creek Falls. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
