Good news for a change! Wild populations of this species were rediscovered by CHilean botanists a few years ago and written up in that country's botanical journal, Gayana. You can read the article on the Gayana website. For obvious reasons the exact site locations have not been publicized. However, it's very interesting to learn about the habitat of this popular plant, which seems to me to resemble the kinds of places where one would find deciduous Lewisia species -- bare ground below melting snow patches.
