Quite a lovely plant.  At what altitude is it found?  Any information about 
soil conditions?

Subject: [Alpine-l] Lewisia sacajaweana



I am sort of curious to know if other folks on the Alpine list have this newly 
described species, Lewisia sacajaweana in cultivation. 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).
