Abstract
Fernleaf biscuitroot is widespread with scattered populations throughout the western US and adjacent parts of southwestern Canada. Populations occur from British Columbia to Saskatchewan and south to New Mexico and California (Tilley et al. 2010; Welsh et al. 2016; BONAP 2017). Variety dissectum occurs primarily west of the Cascade Mountains where the average annual precipitation typically exceeds 39 inches (1,000 mm). Variety multifidum is most common east of the Cascade Mountains in semiarid habitats (Scholten et al. 2009; Serpe and Novak 2011). Though common, populations can be small, scatter, or disjunct (Herman 1966, USDA NRCS 2020).
