Hi Jim, does look a bit like L. kelloggii doesn't it? No one over here has that species and if the seed is as difficult to germinate as L. kelloggii it will be a long time befroe it is in cultivation. cheers Graham Nicholls Timsbury near Bath UK -3

The type is found at rather high elevation in the Boise National Forest of central Idaho(Sawtooth Mountain range). Genetic analysis of the collected material has determined that it is sufficiently separate from L. Kelloggii to be a separate species. Here is a picture taken by the botanist that described the species(a forest service biologist). http://photos.imageevent.com/teita/rgplants2011/websize/Lewisia%20sacajaweana.jpg Jim Hatchett Eagle, Idaho Zone 5 _______________________________________________ lpine-l mailing list [email protected] ttp://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l
