TOPOGRAPHY: Goodyera repens occurs predominantly 

 at altitudes of 5800-6200 feet (1770-1890 m) in 

 Montana, with the highest location at 6280 feet 

 (1890 m) , and the lowest at 4400 feet (1340) 

 (Glacier National Park) . The sites are 

 predominantly well drained, on cool northerly 

 aspects of gentle to moderate slopes (5-35%) , on 

 mid- to lower slopes. 



SOIL RELATIONSHIPS: The soils under Goodyera 

 repens populations in central Montana are mostly 

 developed in parent materials derived from 

 calcareous bedrock, mostly Madison Group 

 limestones (Reeves 1930, Veseth and Montagne 1980, 

 Weed 1900) . Site-specific soil information for 

 the sites is not available. General information 

 indicates that Cryochrepts and Ustochrepts are 

 most likely at the central Montana sites, and that 

 Cryochrepts and Cryoboralfs are most likely at the 

 Glacier National Park site (Montagne et al . 

 1982) . However, Goodyera repens roots shallowly 

 in the moss and upper organic horizons of the 

 soil, and the relationship to underlying 

 calcareous mineral horizons is not clear.
