No collections from the Sierra referable to this species have been 

 seen by me and it is here included only because it is reported 89 to have 

 been collected in the high mountains of Tulare County (near East 

 Lake, Miss K. E. Wilson) and is also said 101 to be growing in Little 

 Yosemite Valley.
