Description: Yellowstone grounddaisy, Townsendia condensata, White Mountains, elevation 3545 m (11630 ft). Also visible are leaves of King sandwort (Eremogone kingii var. compacta) and compact phlox (Phlox condensata). Substrate is carbonate (Reed Dolomite). This is one of several species on carbonate substrates in the White Mountains that are widely disjunct from their main ranges in the northern Rocky Mountains. This species is otherwise known only from the nearby Sweetwater Mountains, and from another disjunct occurrence in the Tushar Mountains of south-central Utah. A few species of the southern Sierra Nevada also share this pattern of disjunction. Date: 24 June 2014, 15:39. Source: Yellowstone grounddaisy, Townsendia condensata.
