Quite a lovely plant. At what altitude is it found? Any information about soil conditions? Anne Spiegel Mid-Hudson Valley New York Zone 4b/5a

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
