Abstract
Barestem biscuitroot occurs in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and southern British Columbia (Hitchcock et al. 1961; Lesica 2012). Populations occur on both sides of the Cascade Mountain Range, as far south as central California and Nevada, and as far east as western Utah and Idaho (Hermann 1966; Munz and Keck 1973; Welsh et al. 2016; Hitchcock and Cronquist 2018). Barestem biscuitroot appeared west of the Cascade Range about 4,500 years ago and was likely brought from the high desert interior by the Salish peoples. On Washington’s Waldron Island, barestem biscuitroot is found only in association with known Salish settlements (Drum 2006).
