Global Range
Wenatchee Mountains of Washington State, and perhaps also in Canadian Rockies in Alberta and/or British Columbia. However, Canadian records are questionable. The British Columbia record is now rejected by Douglas, and the Alberta record is based by Kartesz only on Abrams (1940-1960), not on any Canadian flora.
