Populations of var. praeteritus occur on isolated, relatively dry peaks in the Great Basin. It is known from the Jackson Mountains and Pine Forest and Santa Rosa ranges in Humboldt County, Nevada, and the Pueblo Mountains and Steens Mountain in Harney County, Oregon, and is disjunct to the west from the nearest populations of var. davidsonii by approximately 120 km.
