Abstract

Arrowleaf balsamroot is primarily a western species occurring from the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges to the Black Hills of South Dakota. It is found in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan and in the U.S. states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming (USDA FS 1937; Weber 2006). It is particularly widespread east of the Cascades at low to mid-elevations (Hitchcock and Cronquist 1973).PDF UPDATED: FEBRUARY 2024.
