I found this plant growing along the Lee Canyon trail on broken limestone. At high elevations, the species tends to be more compact in form. The highest elevation at which I have observed the species is at 10,000 feet in the Schullman Grove of the White Mountains, Inyo County, California.

This cluster of seedlings is found in wood from a deceased Buckhorn Cholla (Opuntia acanthocarpa). The most likely source of seed is the Salvia dorrii at right. In the middle background is a Thamnosma montana and an Eriogonum fasciculatum is in the upper right.
