Occurs in several apparently distinct —_ forms, separable only by field observa- 
tion. Through the Colorado and Utah mountains red-violet is prevalent, but high 
on some mountains—e. g., Pikes Peak—a aes pale greenish brown form occurs. In 
the Wasatch Mountains I have seen the color lavender, but Watson says that this 
is not the prevalent form. In the Teton Mountains, Wyoming (Nelson 100) a blue 
form exists. 
Wooded or subalpine grassy mountain slopes, at altitudes of (2,200) 2,500 to 3,600 
(3,900) meters; Subalpine and Montane zones, ascending to Alpine Zone; flowering
