Tne Ansc c.t. is most commonly found on cool, well drained uplands, but 

 also in rugged sites where competition with other plants is slight. Thus 

 it can be found in badlands and also in sandstone coulee bottoms where coulee 

 bank erosion is quite noticeable. Moreover, it occurs in swales where greater 

 than average moisture is available despite heavy soils.
