Discussion
This species occurs at Keele Peak on seepy granite rock shelves. Horton (1977) discussed its habitat preferences and North American distribution, as then known. She considered it to be a phytogeographically critical species. W e can here add another locality from near the ice-free corridor in Alberta (Jasper National Park, Mt. Edith Cavell, Crum & Schofield 5071, alta)—New to Alberta.
