Utah: Eriogonum-ephedra, mixed desert shrub, and juniper communities at 1340 to 1830 m, in gypsiferious, saline soils of the Cutler, Summerville and Chinle formations. Arizona: Identical to that of Utah, formation unknown. California: Talus, loose gravel or sand, dry ground in pine forests (ponderosa pine) and chaparral at 1200 to 2800 m.
