Cliffs and rocky slopes in the mountains, 8600 to 11,000 feet : Modoc Co. East 

 to Arizona and Colorado, north to British America. June-July. 



Geog. note. — Throughout the Rocky Mountains from Colorado north into British America, 

 Phacelia sericea has a wide distribution. It also occurs in the ranges of the Great Basin and bor- 

 dering territory from northern Arizona (near Flagstaff, Pnrpus) and from Nevada and Utah 

 north into Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Many Great Basin plants reach the eastern margins 

 of California and this species occurs in the Warner Mountains in eastern Modoc County, specifi- 

 cally on the Eagle Peak Ridge (L. S. Smith 1038). This station is, thus, an outlying one, and 

 the only one now known within our area.
