ype i in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden, collected on margin 
of a draw on mountain side, conglomerate, 1 to 2 miles south of Evanston, Uinta 
County, Wyoming, altitude about 2,100 to 2,200 meters, in flower, June 26, 1915, 
by F. W. Pennell (no. 5918). 
Apparently most closely allied to P. rydbergii, with which it may occasionally 
intergrade. Usually it may be distinguished readily from this not only by the 
characters given in the key, but also because it rarely blackens to the same degree. 
Sagebrush slopes, among willows, and openings in forest, at altitudes of 1,800 to 
2,900 meters; Montane and Submontane zones; flowering from late June to late August. 
Mountain slopes, through the Wasatch region from southern Lincoln County, Wyo- 
ming to Sevier County, Utah; through mountains eastward to Medicine Bow Range 
of southeastern Wyoming and Middle Park of northern Colorado; on the Uncom- 
pahgre Plateau and doubtless on intervening ridges, Extends northwestward into 
southern Idaho.
