 Intermountain Flora (Cronquist et al. 1984), the only habitat characterization provided is that of the 

 species in all its varieties: "Alkaline, usually barren clay (rarely sandy) banks and flats in the deserts and 

 foothill." 



POPULATION INFORMATION: None available. 



MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS: It is appropriate to search for this species in the course of 

 on-the-ground range work in the Melrose vicinity of both the Dillon and Headwaters Districts. Extended 

 survey at the red sage site is also warranted.
